About half of my No. 8's in this pic:

Fun to customize to your liking ...... I don't change the shape of the wood much ...... there's a lot of history in that shape, if you read about it. ;) 😊

I don't either. I like the shape, but the first thing I did with all my Opies, after loosening up the pivot, was sand a notch to make them easier to pinch open.
 
Primble Primble you have a great collection there.!

Am going to dust off my Dremel and have a go at add some texture/light carving - something I’ve always fancied having a go at. Having had a look on the ‘net, there are some stunning examples around.

$100 and sold out.

That's what I hate about calling a release a limited edition and stating a number of pieces. I don't buy any knife because of numbers made, but, a lot of people want that.
I don't like serialized knives either .......... I see it as gimmicky and is a distraction, in my opinion.
If Opinel didn't bite on that and they sold out, they could release more. :(:thumbsdown: 😊
I wish it was more like we'll make this many and if demand exceeds that, more released.

I thought the website said "Available later in the Spring."

It did say that and I signed up for notification. Not sure where MR. R. saw that price tag. 🤔😊 ............ he does seem to have special connections though.;)🤣

The USA site has it as sold out. The official Opinel site lists it as coming soon for 89 euros.. Very mixed signals!🥴

I just read an article in Knife News. It stated Opinel will have 6000 available world wide coming this spring.
Hope this is not an opinionated article.

Rolex has taught many companies a 'lesson' that I fear will become more prevalent in all sorts of fields/products :rolleyes:

I wonder how they can be sold out if there was never an option for early order. ? 🤔

I'm thinking they got their announcement wires crossed .......... and why do they have a link to be notified upon release if no more are available ? 🤔

I signed up ........... I reckon we'll find out. 🤣
