Contest test - Laguiole
Re: Contest test - Laguiole
And finally, the Laguiole has arrived!
Here is some reviewing photos (open in new tab to see full resolution).
I chose another seki-made oldtimer knife for unboxing - full stainless Taiyo.
Another soft package was inside the box.
Old Spyderco black-white box and bee stamped sheath.
"RL01P" index number on the box, "JAPAN" stamp on the sheath.
The Laguiole and sticker.
Brass liners and furniture, polished micarta handle.
My measures are: blade length = 100 mm, blade thickness = 2.9 mm, behind the edge thickness = 0.3 mm (0.012 in).
It is shaving sharp and cuts very well.
Blade spine with cutouts, bee and frontlock.
The blade has mirror finish and Seki-city stamp.
Ramco-Laguiole engraving and G-2 stamp.
Another view of mirror polish on the blade.
Sheath and closed knife. The action is smooth, fit and finish are exceptional.
I convey my gratitude to Sal, Gail and Alex.
And thanks to everyone who congratulated me.
This Laguiole will be a gem in my collection, as a part of Spyderco (and knives overall) history, I won't trade or sell it, but rather leave it to my children in the future.
