I have seen that a few times on the net before.
It also applies to Spydercos, called the "Spyderdop", where you pinch the blade in between the thumb and index just over the hole, you pull the knife out and make a small dropping of the wrist so that it opens and locks  ;)

(Image removed from quote.)

Might try it out, but not with your gifted 110, so beautiful to risk throwing it across the air and bang, ding, scratch or break the knife and scales!  :ahhh
also pointless after having so many OHO folders!!

I've got a spare Kwikstud if you're interested. Let me know and I'll pop it in the post to you. Used to live on a Skeletool I no longer own. It's the silver one not the brass I'm afraid.

much appreciated pomsbz:hatsoff: but I'm afraid this time I actually prefer it to be traditional opening,
and it's (to me) too pretty to add or take anything from it,

but I sure thank your gesture   :cheers:

Since I got some other blades out for the 30 day 111 mm challenge pic of today, I might as well post one here from those taken. Hercules with a Douk-Douk, Ontario RAT II, Opinel No. 7, Kershaw AM-3 and Sanrenmu 763.

It was a flea market find, for around 3 bucks. It was a bit rusty and discolored, but a bit of TLC brought it back to life.

Oh, yeah! That makes it a genuine Douk-Douk.

Good find; good save!  :tu:

And...tell the truth now...that carbon steel blade gets wicked sharp, doesn't it?  >:D

Indeed! It only needed about a dozen of strokes on a 600 diamond stone, some stropping and voila, it was shaving sharp! Interestingly, somehow I am not able to bring my Opinel to the same sharpness. It's a mystery to me.

Interesting.

My Opi's get very sharp. Hmmmmmmm.....you might try going back to a coarse stone (300 grit or so) and then working down to an 800 or 1200 grit stone. Some of my knives seem to thrive on really fine stones, like 4000 or 6000 grit.

And try a light stropping on a leather belt or strop after you sharpen. Knock the burr off.

Yeah, some more experimenting with different stones might bring better results.

But to be honest I don"t really mind, it's more like a small annoyance. I mean it's still pretty sharp, good for any normal everyday task - do you really need to shave your forearm or cut mm-thin slices of receit paper in the real world? :D - and I don't carry it anyway, as I have much better options. The Opinel is more like just for the sake of having one in the collection.
