Ordered yesterday, free shipping = Arriving Thu, Jun 4 - Tue, Jun 9

Size is the No 12 - $14.85 Free shipping. Amazon rocks.


  • Handle: Beechwood
  • Blade: Carbon steel
  • Size open: 11 1/8" - Blade: 4 6/8"


Had a no 6 years ago...lost it in the woods. this one's bigger and should be easier to find when dropped LOL

I'm going to mod the handle...dunno how or with what yet....but I will....
 
Ahh yes, Opinels are great!

Well built, inexpensive, and very useful.

Enjoy! I've got a couple 8's and 6's, and love em!
 
yeah, I'm excited. I have some different exotic wood samples...and some antler...not sure how I want to approach re-handling it. Wood...antler...both...neither...not quite sure yet.

This blade is bigger than my previous one by inches. I want to create something for an EDC type blade...thumbstud [or cutout], cold gun blue the blade, flatten the handle [side to side]...perhaps finger groove it...but it's going to get a pocket clip of some type. If I can pull it off, a deep carry type clip...
 
If you go through with it definitely post pics. I would like to see how it turns out.
