OPINELS

Just in case you chaps don't know, but Cold Steel did do a Opinel rip-off tribute.

I remember the Twistmaster. I had a look for it on eBay some time ago, but did not actually get one.
It was considered OK.
Ofcourse it was a lot stronger and better than the original! 
I actually have a Cold steel kudu; similar idea of improving an existing design, and it is one of my most used knives.

I like the blade shape on Twistmaster...

Now I'm missing my Opinel!!

I have a couple 3 opinels. Don't carry or use them much but still like them.

  the carbon #8 is one of my favourites

Here are my two Opinels (for the moment  ), a stainless #6 and a carbon #7.



The #7's handle has been sanded, re-stained, and given two coats of low luster acrylic polyurethane.  I got bored at work one day..... The #6 is becoming a favorite work knife, light and simple, takes a nice edge, and if I kill it, I'll just get another one!  Actually, even if I don't kill it, I'm still getting another......
