TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
I had the good fortune of touring France extensively, along with my German girlfriend, last summer.
We, at one point or another, found ourselves in the Montpellier area, hence (on a whim) we dicided to visit the township of Laguiole.
I, being the avid quality pocket knife collector that I am, took an instant liking to these wonderful hand made knives (prior to I was mainly into Swiss Victorinox).
I purchased a beautifully fashioned stag pocket knife (knife blade only) for myself and an intricate multi wood one for Isabel.
Additionally, I also bought a few more knives for friends and family.
Alas I recently seem to have misplaced the Laguiole knife I had bought for myself, hence I am on a mission to replace it while building up a collection more of the same.
It appears that relative few retailers here in the US stock Laguiole knives. Whats more those that do do not have much of a selection (plus their wares have a hideous markup).
I was hoping that some kind soul on this forum would be so kind as to supply me with more info (i.e., US suppliers, retailers, models/makes, prices) on these fine knives.
I thank you in advance for your help, one and all, and am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks a bunch!
