I've got a stunning horn handled proper Laguiole my godfather gave me.
Lives, unused, in a draw in my parents place in France next to an Opinel No. 8, it's just too nice. The Opinel, along with a mini tape measure, almost always go straight into my pocket when I stay.
Although in fairness the extra weight and long shape of the Laguiole is a factor too.
Like everything, what's the curve look like?
What's the upper end of a beater knife for you? £50? £500? £5000?
Cause lets be honest, a knife will be a beater. You abuse it... Bash it about... Unless its £1500, then its an object of beauty to be admired and drooled over rather than a knife.
