After being away from this thread for a while, and then returning to it, its almost impossible not to go grab an Opinel and put it in my pocket.

Here's my Opinel #8;



I experimented with it a bit. Didn't turn out that well.

I think it turned out just fine.  And if you use the heck out of it, its going to look better and better.

Nice! Personally I prefer the 5 or 6, but the 8 is a great knife. Enjoy!

I just came across this one, Opinel N.12 Explore.





It is an interesting little thing: a clip point other than the usual Opinel one a synthetic handle housing a whistle, a gutting blade and a firestarter.



Has anyone seen this in person? I think it might be a useful little kit though I don't really like how it looks and how the lanyard loop/lower part of the hooked blade sticks out at the pommel.

Interesting.....

I like the fire steel, but that's it. I can't help but think that Opinel are over extending themselves with dragging what is a time tested classic into the 21st century.
