How many own an Opinel?

[stoffi]

I just ordered a No.8 Garden knife! Can't wait! Too bad I couldn't get it in Carbon Steel though (it's INOX).

I've been impressed with the Inox, (12C27). Strops up nicely and holds and edge well

 

[silenthunterstudios]

I've got one, it's my junker user, but it is a slicer. Great garden knife too.

 

[jimnolimit]

i have a stainless #8, i call it my pocket scalpel.

 

[stoffi]

Oh, I like stainless steel too, I just prefer carbon steel for the ease of sharpening.

 

[6thtexas]

Got a #8 in my pocket as I type and a #6 I use on occasion.

the stainless opinel's are very easy to sharpen.

 

[avoidspam]

the stainless opinel's are very easy to sharpen.

I'll second that!

 

[stoffi]

Cool! I'm looking forward to it.

i find mine keeps a fairly coarse edge but put it over a strop (belt will do) and bingo!

I have a couple. Once I got some soda inside one and it was a booger to get open again. I learned the tapping them open method and will use that in the future. These and Moras I'm always wishing I had more of. Great little slicers.

I have two 6s, an 8 Garden, and a 10.

 

[Moosez45]

I have a #7 Carbon. I ablsolutely love it.

The only thing that bothers me, is the emblem on mine. It looks like two fingers being pulled out of rusty sherriff's badge quickly.

Or is it just me?

I have a dozen of 'em. There's a set of ten and a garden knife in the accumulation, and a midsize that I keep in my portfolio bag.

I could use another, that large model from the YouTube video.

You mean the #13?

I have a dozen or so Opinels, from a #6 to that #13, mostly carbon steel and mostly 25+ years old.

 

[Guyon]

I don't know Moose. It does look pretty peculiar.

 

[5370H55V]

I've had 3, all of which were the no. 8 model. Two were given as gifts to relatives and I still keep this one around:

 

[lava_lamp]

The legendary tough and secure French EDC. Do you have one?]

Oui. I keep a #7 in the glove box of my wife's SUV for food and clampack packaging.

 

[scrub]

There is one in my emergency box in the garage, don't think I've ever actually used it (the knife or the box).
