Opinel "Peanut"

[fishtale]

I just spent the week in Paris and found a traditional French peanut.

There was a small cigar shop that carried a few Opinel knives and this little ss No.4 jumped out at me. A very cool slip case came with it. 13 euro...which with the exchange was about $20. Everything there is expensive!

I assume it's a friction folder ?
Is that correct?
I don't see a typical Opinel locking ring.

I like the pouch, too!

The "INOX" stamped on the blade - is it stainless steel?

Nice buy. Well worth the $20. Unique.

cool! and a supernice case for it too! well done!!

Yes, non-locking stainless blade. The little slip case is beautifully done. The blade is "paring knife" thin and cuts very well.

Neat knife! The sheath looks great. :thumbup:

None of the very small Opinels have the locking ring.

That's an awesome find, I'd love to pick up something like that.

Thanks for the kind words. It was a real surprise to be walking the streets of Paris and just happen to see a window display out of the corner of my eye. There were a few dozen larger models but this was the only small one...and with a slip case!

Love it! What a nice little score. :thumbup:

(I want first refusal when you "flip" it. )

I love Opinels, I carry one on my keychain everyday (a #2) good score! I gotta find me one of those slipcases.
