I have an Opinel №6 in my pocket today. Not sure how to attach a picture of it!

I have no need for so many splitbacks. I become obsessed with a certain pattern and then buy a bunch of them trying to find the perfect one or checking out different covers or steel types, etc... I'm sure nobody else here has ever done such a thing, right?

The best pics are this time of year. Love all of the fall foliage shots!

I may be wrong but I think you need to have a paid subscription to post pics. Please think about purchasing a subscription if possible they are what makes this forum an amazing place!

Great choice! I absolutely love these Ruples. The slim design is surprisingly comfortable to use. I thought it would dig into my hand more than it does.

I love the way the locking mechanism is integrated into the axe-handle. It’s definitely something different, and I like that. Glad to hear you’re enjoying yours!

Way too often, I am afraid! But, you at least you are not alone!

Confused on the model. The blade looks a 110, but rest looks a 55.
Good looking knife either way.

No other changes.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

It's the 20th Anniversary 111 model that was released earlier this year. They were introduced in 2005 as a variation of the 110 with curved bolsters, like the 55. I'm a little confused on when they were discontinued, so maybe someone who actually knows what they're talking about will come along, and fill us in.

Huh. I thought the most recent 111 was a fixed blade 110.
I'm pretty sure the "111" available in the 1970's were a shadow pattern/type 110 that had the fancy scroll engraved aluminum covers ... tho I am probably wrong on that one's model number.

Did you know?!? Prior to 1964 the 110 was a fixed blade, very similar to the current 103 Skinner?
They are ather rare now. I dun gived up on getting a 110 made in my birth year (1955) or any pre-1964 110.
(Whom knows? maybe they are fairly common, just ... misidentified ... as a 103?)

Last splitback. I think. Sometimes I find a knife I forgot I even bought. I'm sure that never happens to anyone here either.

I think you're thinking of the 101 fixed blade.
