Laguiole seems to have two separate lines - one good quality, and price-accordingly...and another gift-shop/tjmaxx shit for $5. The good stuff has exotic wood handles, etc., the cheap stuff is...cheap.

It's a hit/miss since they are branding the shit out of it. I just saw this one in a shop window and liked it.

Laguiole is simply not a brand. The design of those knives belongs to the public domain. Hence the variations in quality, depending on the manufacturer. The cheapest models are made in Asia.

It is the name of the locality from which those knives are originated ; I guess you simply can't protect that kind of denomination outside the AOC (= label of origin) system. It works for wine and cheese, at least. Not sure about knives.
Manufacturers indicate their name along with the laguiole mention on the blade, that's all they can do. That, and making the difference in quality obvious.I can see a hat, I can see a cat,
