I'm no expert, but I've picked up a few tips from others along the way.Hello! I have many opinels but my most frequent EDC is # 6 in oak and tinker SAK
After 2 weeks of watching opinels mods in this forum, I definitely want to give my #6 a drop point. I only have a dremel with sanding and cutting kit.
will it be enough? any advice from the experts?
Cut first and then sand or just sand? Any problem or consideration with the increase in temperature when cutting and damage the temper of the blade?
Thank you and I await your advice.

I’ve spotted that on the Opinel website. I love this idea for novelty (perhaps a few practical!) applications. I wish they had a general blade blank to go with this for folks who wanted more blade material to work with.They make this one just for that purpose, so you can get creative with the handle shape:

Here is a No. 8 that I thinned and scorched the handle on.

Great job! Do you have a pic from and upper angle? I'll love to see how thin it is. And one question off topic...how do you upload images? New on forum and imgur or google photos doesn't seem to work here. ThanksHere is a No. 8 that I thinned and scorched the handle on.
