will this need sharpening? one amazon review said it needed to be sharpened from factory( I do not trust my sharpening skills which are pretty bad and I dont have correct implements either) : Opinel Trekking Red Folding Knife,3.25in,12C27 MOD Sandvik Stainless Blade,Red Dyed Wood 1705

I've never had to sharpen any of mine out of the box.   You should really like it when you get it!

I'd be very surprised if it did.  Every Opinel I've ever bought has been sharp enough for my taste.  They can always be sharper I guess, but I doubt you'll need to do anything straight out of the box.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Nice pic Poncho. I'm thinking you should select the next size up when you post pics.

I've been pocket carrying a No. 6 for quite some time now. They're the perfect size for me as they don't scare people (not much anyways).

Got the #8 red trekker today, some initial impressions:

Not quite as sharp as my moras and kershaws, gets hung up when doing paper cut test unless you adjust the angle of your slice
very shallow edge, looks like my Henckels chef knife edge
well balanced, extremely lightweight, and comfortable to hold, first knife I have owned with a round handle, very cool.
interesting locking mechanism, but would prefer some type of nub on the opposite side of the open slit so you could twist it from there instead of putting your thumb into the slit(thats not what she said  :rofl:)
Very good knife for the pricepoint $14, should get a lot of use out of it either in the kitchen or outdoors

in my experience Opinels come with quite a "toothy" edge.  A bit of a strop changes that quite easily if you prefer something finer.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.
