Your opinion of the best locking slicer style, under $200

Whoa, godd*amit! You're hell to me. I just read this thread on my way to France today. When I got there (Perpignan, near the frontier with my country) after having diner I saw an opinel number 7 on the store. I already have two,an 8 and a 7, with the calssy brown handle.

I was carrying my usual EDC, the Pacific Salt, and though "hell of a slicer that I already heve in this very pocket". Went out of the store. Ten seconds later stepped back into it.

Because this one was green and, well, you know the rest. Having just been twenty minutes reading about "how awesome opinels are", how they "are the best slicers out there" and how they cut "better than any other blade, a $150 PM2 or a $200 benchmade, at just $15" I had to get it. I deem you all responsible...;)

So good these just cost the same as the meal I just had here...

One green for me, and what kind of son I am if I don't buy another one (blue this time) for my father?
Anyway, thank you all for making me add a colorful friend to my classics collection, but darn you all for causing me to buy an opinel every time I happen to go to France. Pics from today.
