Well, yes, it is a much prettier knife than any I've seen by Laguiole, and the design looks much more useful.

But... no corkscrew. <img src="images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

If we're going to get beyond corkscrews into knives in general, this conversation could go on for years... and has, with some other friends. Not that I mind. <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You evidently can find that "le Thiers" design with corkscrew.
But when I bought mines (yes, I have another one, with Damascus blade and ivory scales ...), that was at the very begining of this design and few models existed.
And I especially like the simplicity of the lines.
And I was not looking for a corkscrew (didn't drink much at the time ..... <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )

Now you can find this design in various models, including one wich looks like the CRKT Kiss (maybe I will get one ..... to add to my collection).

Well, I don't know about knives shops in the USA.

The "Le Thiers" design has been created a few years ago, by knifemakers from the french town THIERS, in order to counter the commercial succes of the Laguiole.

The previously pictured knife is a custom one, which, when I bought it a few years ago, was in the 350-400$ range.

The following one (picture from a knife magazine) was sold two years ago at about 30$, depending on the blade length. Industrialy produced.




But I definitly do like that design.
And looking again at it, I guess I will order one next week ..... or maybe two or three : one for my own collection and the others as Xmas gifts - better to think of these ahead of time <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.
