I wonder, someone who can't be persuaded to get a Spyderco, would he like Opinels?

He appreciates them sure, but they aren't something he would edc.

EDC isn't everything. There is the kitchen, the car, the boat (if any), the garden and so on.

The blade looks scandi ground

It does have that look doesn't it :o All it has is a regular bevel though :D But with the price of these it might be something to try sometime since it is almost there :think: :tu:

I don't think the blade is thick enough to allow it.

I think Santos is right. A Scandi blade needs a beefier spine. It's not a filleting tool.

Huge new Opinel fan!  Joining my workhorse No.9 are my No. 6 and 8.  Due in today or Monday is a No. 9 DIY.  My son picked up my No. 9 not more than a few weeks ago, and the collection has grown from there!

Thanks.   :cheers:   They really help with handling the knife. I certainly don't want to fumble a sharp opinel.

I imagine it makes it sit a little nicer in the pocket as well. :)
