I was going to grab a walnut opinel but I had seen these listed by my favorite purveyor of fine pocket knives and collectables and thought they looked pretty neat.

The large one is really a nice size. The xl is definitely extra large! They have some sort of fancy stainless steel too so I'm excited to tote it around for a while. Opinel #7 for scale

The lock mechanism is super solid. The handle is basically the same shape as the way I modified the opinel. It's great. I just have to drill a lanyard hole.





Anyone want to try out the XL, give a shout and I'll throw it in the mail.
If no one has claimed the XL and you really want to get rid of it, I will take it. I have always wanted to try on of the Old Bear knives because of that interesting locking mechanism.

Taking my daughter along to spend time with Mom ‘n Dad. Stopped at her oldest brother’s memorial. Woulda been 40 today.

Camilus 68 from the late ‘40s, and Case 12031L from I don’t know when.

I’ll leave the Daado in the car while we’re inside the hospital. Not that anyone would see it, being down in my pocket. Just won’t
need it in there.
Have a fine day.
