jigsaw 11,875 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 im probably going to get slated for this but...............i still think they are an ugly knife.i wouldnt have one no way.just a personal choice,no bit of class to them,highly durable no doubt but just the look and shape of them put me off.i could find a hundred others that are just as efficient and miles better looking,and I know looks dont skin a rabbit but i do like to carry something that doesnt repulse me lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smiles40 24 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I have got 3 opinels they are great knives but I bought one a few years ago that has a better shaped blade think its stainless and a real good hardwood handle its easily as sharp,same design the handle does not swell like the opinel,its the first one I reach for now,I will put a pic up tomorrow,ps if anyone wants one in neast mcdermots,ashington sell them for about a tenner.
