Laguiole or stockman?

@foolcher thanks for the info, those are some really fine looking Laguioles.

I'd go for a Lagiuiole, by all means. Just because...I'm a collector for about 20 years.
But beware...Le Fidele is not one of the best brands. Try Forge de Laguiole, en-Aubrac or Honore Durand (former L'Artisan), Rossignol and G.David/R.David
Good knves starting at a reasonable price (and up to thousands of dollars
The best thing is to read and search a lot because there is an enormous amount of "counterfeit" and rubbish around. Mostly from China, Paksitan and even France.
Laguile is not a trade-mark...it is a knife model!!! So anyone can put a stamp on it, saying Laguiole.
Again, beware.
Good luck

That's some good info there Foolcher. Thanks for that.
