Has anyone owned one of these before? I'd love to see some in hand pictures.

No, but I've got an OP 6 and an OP 8 on the way.

A very good deal from AG you know who.

(See what you guys have done to me. )

yep i have got one (No 12) but it's a bit too big for my taste...
Honestly, i baught it to have fun customising it when i would have time !
(cutting blade, changing handle, etc..)
It's quite easy!

The OP-22136 Giant Knife, 10 7/8" closed, is a display knife. I doubt many people really use it. The OP-13120 VRN12, 6 1/4" closed, is a large but manageable knife which works well in the kitchen. It makes an excellent bread knife. The blade is 4 3/4".

The Nr. 12 is in daily use in my kitchen,
I would buy the giant one if it would be carbon steel...

If you don't want your #12 I'd take it off your hands. I'm in the market for #10 and #12 Opinels. The long blades are good for batoning.

I'm thinking about ordering one of these Giant Opinels sometime. It would be hilarious to use that on a camping trip with a bunch of other people carrying fixed blades
