I was thinking the same, but I think some are plastic too.. . The opinel site does not load from where I am for some reason...

Nope...    I know they make a plastic one, just have to find it.   

please post a link GG when you find it because ive done a study on them over the last few weeks and checked lots of info on the net and not seen any plastic models yet 

Its possible that I saw a pimped one or a knock-off because I couldn't find one either.    Maybe I'm losing my mind in my old age!   

[Zed]

im sure these are wood painted as i dont think they ever made plastic ones, they stay pretty traditional

Here you go tony  sanded down and treated and lanyard hole added  will do more to the handle once the kids go back to school

You are going to hate this John, but the wonderful folks at Cold Steel made a plastic handled version of these called Twistmasters.  I don't know if they are still being produced or not though, but is it possible that's what you are thinking of?
