Not trying to be an enabler but as I saw many of you from the US, I just wanted to put this out there for you Stateside :

Does anyone have one of those ? If you live in Alaska, Montana or Kansas, it would seem like a must…  :D

Not an enabler, 🙄 :facepalm:

Yes, those are nice!

I believe Sos24 has the Teddy Bear model.

Maine also has its share of Moose!

Bison are raised across the Midwest and plains. Great meat ,alternative to beef.   Much leaner.

Bear are present in many states, Pennsylvania, Has some largest varieties of black bear.

I going to look for Tour de France scripted handles for 24 season.

Besides, you would not be a valued member here at MTo if you did not share your finds with fellow members😉🌹
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

The 2023 Edition Nature series. Of each of these only 9,000 were made.
The one in the middle has blackened collar and blade.

I have a few of the folders, because I embrace simplicity, but I don’t carry them much.  However, when I’m putting around the garden and need to do some precise pruning , or work through a tangle of vines or whatnot, I have found that the paring knife and the vegetable knife are actually easier to use than the folding garden stuff.  By the way, how many do you need to get the badge?  I need to start making an effort in that area.
That’s gonna leave a mark.

Doc, just post a picture of your Opinel each day for thirty consecutive days.  Start a thread and post your pictures there.  If you need a hand pm me and I can help you.  After the thirty days, you apply for the badge.  We can cross that bridge when we get there.

  It has been a while since I saw the 'put a knife in a potato' treatment to make it turn color.  I remember an old man who said it would sharpen better afterward.  I wouldn't swear to that.  Best wishes.  G
