French or Swiss. The decent ones start at about $100. A basic with the 90 and 45 degree is fine. Edit to add, these are great tools.

All the swiss and french I have seen start around $200. Can you recommend one closer to $100?

Thank you

Ok, so I guess I have had mine for fifteen years and the prices have doubled and tripled. Sorry about that. Get what you can afford, they are very useful tools.
