Okay, who doesn't have an Opinel? Winners!

I've never owned one. Actually, I've never seen one in person. Thank you for the chance.
 
Never had a desire to own an Opinel. I don't even consider them when I'm in a knife buying mood. For inexpensive but pretty good cutters, I tend to lean toward Moras now. The Mora Companion really impressed me versus the Mora I bought prior to that (about a year) didn't impress me at all.
 
Thanks for the chance...I'm excited for this. I've been drooling over one for so long, and just haven't pulled the trigger. I mean...$20 is $20 and I'm fairly broke right now :thumbdn:

anyways...again, thanks for the chance, I have my fingers crossed :D
 
I don't have an Opinel.
Well, it's not that I never had an Opinel, but it has been almost 30 years since I did.
I kept one in my tackle box when I was a teenager. That tackle box, along with some handmade lures made by my late Grandfather, was stolen. :(

The lures, like my Grandfather, are truly gone and cannot be replaced, but maybe I can get lucky and get another Opinel!

Thanks for the chance!!!
 
Okay, as a pretty much noobie around here, What's the 'Restaurant Incident'? I'm curious.

I don't own one, but this is not an entry. I've always been interested in them ever since I read your story a long time ago about your restaurant incident. I've looked at them a lot but it seems that the styles I like (garden and slim) only come in size 8 and above, and for my purposes I think a size 6 is about as big as I need to go.

So that's my reason, and also my reason for not entering- the 8's bigger than I want. Plus I have more knives than I know what to do with now so let someone else have a shot. :)

I don't recall that specific story, but there's a pretty good chance it can be found in this sticky thread at the top of the Traditional Forum page. Carl's stories are an excellent read whenever you have some free time to kill.


Not an entry folks, as I already own a couple Opinels. They are affordable, quality knives that every knife enthusiast should try at some point. Thanks for the giveaway, guys. The generosity around here never ceases to amaze me.:cool:
 
Passing comment he made once a long time ago on a different forum. Nothing of interest, it was just the first time I had heard of the brand name.
 
Okay, it's about noon on Wednesday, and I've picked three winners numbers out of my old khaki bucket hat. The winners are;
1. Edm1,
2. coaltrain,
3. FLmon.

Edm1 and coaltrain, send my your address so I can get them off to you.

FLmon, email Omar, (OHALLUM) your address so he can get his giveaway to you.

Congratulations to all three of you for the luck of getting a great cutting knife in a three way giveaway. I don't know if this has ever been done before.

Carl.

Sent you my info. Thank you very much for this. I have never even seen one in person. I know nothing about them yet. Looks like I will be doing some research and learning. Thank you for the opportunity.
 
Awesome!!

Thanks to you both for being so generous!
I have contacted Omar and am really looking forward to getting my hands on a No.8

I will definitely post pictures when it arrives.
 
Just wanted to add as a way of thanks for all the generosity I've been shown on this forum - I've just upgraded my membership to Gold status. Special thanks to jc57 and jackknife!
 
congratulations fellers. Nice giveaway Carl :thumbup:
 
OKAY - hope you winners are all happy!

Because I wasn't one, just ordered a No. 8 stainless and a No. 7 stainless (with plum handle).

I simply must experience the Opinel magic for myself.
