You'll even have problems with this one regarding UK laws IMHO they'll make it in other sizes, this is just a pilot project.... And #8 is the most selled one...
About time, though they seem to have gone a bit too far... I would like what they were making already, with a plastic handle, not this OHO, serrated multicolour serrated thing.... Hopefully they will release a more plain version too, hopefully with a non tactical price.

Ive never needed a whistle. Dont most people know how to whistle?
I like it. If it comes in PE i'll buy one for sure. I was just thinking when Mat made his thread on that cold steel twistmaster opinel "tribute" how a plastic opinel would be a nice thing to have. Great steel + no swelling or the handle. The whistle doesn't bother me at all, it doesn't get in the way and could be useful in case of an emergency or for signaling. I've been in a situation on the top of a mountain, (1600 meters / 5200 ft) with wind blowing at me shouting at the top of my lungs to my friend who was about 20meters / 65 ft away and he couldn't hear a thing. A whistle on the other hand... I never go to the mountains or woods without one any more. It's easier to blow a whisle than it is to shout, and the sound carries further.
YIPEEEEE finally Opie is experimenting with different handle materials , not sure I want all the 'extras' but it is a start .Hay Allan a OHO loophole , 'No sir it is not a OHO blade it is a shackle key with a polished edge'
I'm 99% sure opinel already makes knives in plastic handles, I recall seeing a bright green one in store, definitely doesn't look like wood.My biggest problem with it is the awful serrations.

They do produce coloured wooden ones though, that could look like plastic.
