I thought this humble but very practical Opinel nr 7 had earned pocket time. I think it needs some sandpaper and a soaking in teak oil, it has been some time it had a thorough oiling. One mental note here: if you turn an Opinel into a dedicated friction folder and use oil as a finish, soak the knife in oil BEFORE you snug up the pivot. Some of my other Opinels are a bit too tight for comfort because I did the other way round.

When in I need to loosen an Opinel first I dry it out well. If that doesn't do it, I place a padded screwdriver in the slot and twist to open it slightly. If the issue is the initial open, focusing on the lower end helps.

Today's carry:

Sorry I don't have a picture to share but my Boker Barlow is in my left front pocket and my Opinal #7 is in the right. I also have a Victorinox Classic riding on my key ring.

Okay, ride that pony hard, but please don't put it away wet. ;)

What do you think of it, especially as compared to other jacks of similar size?
(Ed. to add: I just saw your post in the Pony Jack thread and responded, so feel free to answer this question over there-- more apropos. Thanks!)
