>>1461248I've owned Laguioles since I was a kid and absolutely love them. They're the most beautiful knives I've seen, traditional, full of history, but they're expensive. Some people don't want to spend 200 euros for a knife when a 10€ Opinel does basically the same thing.

Pic related is my go-to brand. Fantastic customer service and you can make your own custom knife and choose every single component from the type of steel to the engravings and material of the handle.
