Looking for garden knife for wife.
25 upper price range. Like look of opinels? Are these good knives or should I go with something else maybe a sak or third option?
 
opinels,
as well as saks;
are icons.
they didn't last this long for no good reason.
trustworthy working blades that will outlast tacticool
you can't go wrong with either.
 
Yep Opinels are great. Maybe also consider the Svord Peasant Knife; inexpensive, takes a great edge and easy to disassemble to clean
 
As long as its not being used as a garden spade, it should be excellent. Opinel does make a series of folding pruning knives.
 
You might want to get the stainless version for her to dig in the garden. Beware: it will be verrry sharp! Excellent choice by the way. My Opinel # 6 is my EDC now days. Does everything I need out of an EDC knife.

Blessings,

Omar
 
Opinels are an outstanding value. I use mine in the kitchen all the time. You should also look at Mora, they are fixed blades so they might be better at tough garden use.
 
Opinels are great inexpensive knives. But what are you going to do with one in the garden that pocket shears or a small hand trowel won't do much better?

probably not much but if she doesn't like it or need it, it reverts back to me : )
