For you guys looking to customize an Opinel, I bought a multi-color handle ones from Smokey Mountain Knife Works for $6.99 # op1580. Picked up a few and one came in red, white and blue...so it's a keeper. The others had fun belt sanding and reshaping, screwed up the first Opinel but fixed the handle and blade for a super light EDC. Know I'm getting real serious with the last one. Searching the forum for new & good ideas. Later, Waldo
