I have owned a number of these. Still have a couple. Of course a 'Laguiole' knife is kinda like a 'Bowie' knife. There are a bunch of varitations.
What comes immediately to mind is the 'toothpick' styling and the omnipresent bee on the backspine. Any of the ones I have handled have simply been stiff slipjoints.
What other lock did you have in mind? What were you shown?
