Leaping hare knife

Ausjulius,

You make a very good point. The running hare stamp shown on LEO's blade is unmistakably the Cognet logo, but when looked at critically, the fit and finish of the knife doesn't appear to match the quality of typical Thiers work. It is well known that, due to lack of copyright protection, Chinese manufacturers have been selling knives stamped "Laguiole" and "Sabatier" for years. Could it be that other well known French knife makers are being faked as well or is LEO's photo just a bit bad?

Sincerely,
RobT
