Where to buy Opinels

[a deadly fart]

From what stores have you guys bought opinel knives?
or did you guys buy them online?
I'd rather just buy it from a store but if i do end up buying it online.. i might as well make good use of shipping and buy a sharpmaker too even though i don't really need it yet.. but do want to get a razor sharp edege on my other knives latter on.

Hi,

I buy mine at local hardwarestores, but I live in Europe. Where are you from?

From Kalifornia, US. I think I remember reading somewhere that these knives aren't that popular here.

They have a good selection here:

Go to www.leevalley.com . Click on "Item Search", type in what you want and voila! Three models of Opinel to choose from. Lee valley also carries quite a few sharpening accessories, including some really good Japanese water stones, and all their stuff comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. I own a number of their woodworking tools and sharpening stones, and have yet to be disappointed.

Smoky Mountain Knifeworks has a small but steady supply. I believe they can be reached at Eknifeworks.com.

Also I got some of mine at a little knife shop in Frederick Md. called Edgeworks. Its on North Market St.

They are some of the best cutting blades on the market, not fancy but gets scary sharp.

My local Galyans stocks a handful and can get any of them. .
