Opinel.. OOPS!

pvicenzi · Aug 9, 2013

Well, I was in the mood to carry an Opinel this morning, but I must have been half asleep when I loaded my pockets. Imagine my surprise when I reached into my pocket and pulled out the object in the photo.. It's difficult to cut stuff with a file handle

Now that right there is funny.

Bwhahahahahaha!

That's very funny.

LOL... that´s pretty cool!

Ok - this could happen to everyone in a hurry - especially in relationship to the handleshape...

FLymon · Aug 9, 2013

Hahaha,
Anyone around you get why that is funny, or just us knife knuts?

Thanks for the laugh this morning.

That is a riot!!

It happens sometimes.

Thats an oops I could easily see myself making. Shows you have a great since of humor and humility to share that with us. Thanks for that.

Nah, folks around here either get bored, or think I'm a serial killer when I talk about knives. I didn't even mention it.

Ha!

If a knife knut looked quick, it does look like the backside of a closed Opinel....

When I read the title and then read "half asleep", I was thinking that you put it in your pocket without the lock engaged and it opened in your pocket.
Glad to see that wasnt the case!

Well, at least you can't cut yourself.....

pvicenzi · Aug 9, 2013

I guess the file handle should go in the tool box instead of the knife drawer.

How can you all laugh at this poor man! I hope you had a back up knife and you didn't have to go through the day like some savage trying to open things with your teeth.

parbajtor · Aug 9, 2013

I did a similar thing except there was nothing in my pocket but a hole.

puukkoman · Aug 9, 2013

Maybe it's trying to tell you something.
"Hey, pvicenzi, grab an old sawz-all blade, and turn me into a friction folder!"

pvicenzi · Aug 9, 2013

I keep a #6 in my desk for such emergencies. Here it is with the offending file handle...

That's a relief, just the thought of that situation was stressing me out.

Funny stuff right there! Often, I reach into my pocket and pull out a knife I did not expect.

Hahahah. I lol'ed. Glad you had a back up!!
