Opinel Knife

[gonetoearth 5,144]

Had one as a youngster lasted years. All rounder gutting bunnies Etc odd jobs dont know were it went , in a gun shop the other day seen them on the shelf bought one dont really need it but just fancied it any one else think they are not the same. Bit flimsy no 7. By the way

i've got a no.5 non locking and a no.8, i use them both all the time.

easy to sharpen and cheap

I have a no 7, very good knife. handy for roots when digging too I cant compare to the old one's though.

No 8 use it for every thing from gutting to cutting the meat from the bone,

The old ones had a slightly thicker blade ATB mark

Used them for years but annoying if they get wet there unuseable.

Great little knife them number 7 for me. 5 euro in army bargains. All my mates had others over priced ornaments. Wasn't long about getting a few followers to my trend .

just bought 2 No9's , and seem easy to keep sharp edge , don't know about getting wet though, are they bad when wet then .?

The wood swells and they can be more difficult to get the blade out/closed. Cant fault them though generally

The handle swells mate makes it awkward to get the blade out. Cheap useable knives though it doesn't matter if you misplace 1 or 2 a season.

GTE, someone on here sent me a link to someone who customises Opinel's. For the life of me I can't think where it was now BUT for buttons they made sommat fantastic and well worth owning, out of something very ordinary. I thought they were spot on!

Maybe someone can find the site and put up the link.

 

Good talking earlier, cheers for the brew.

i use no9s and reckon they are decent knives for the money. the handle does swell when wet and can cause temp problems with opening. ive got a berreta knife i paid £75 for which i dont take out incase i lose it. ive put it up some where safe in the house and have lost the fecking thing anyway.

Mine does be dripping in rain an blood never a problem . Blade goes bit funny colour still strong an sharp as f**k. . Sure for a 5er can't Go wrong

I do like an opinel, they are crying out for a bit of sandpaper/stain/wax/oil...
