Just saw No. 08 Stainless with Olive wood handle for $24.18 on the big river site.  Other exotic woods on sale as well for sizes 6, 8, 9.  Best wishes.  G

Do you have any opinion about the non-locking blade on a No. 5?  Naturally there is no factory alternative.  Would you like a lock better?  Best wishes.  G

Not at all Gary.  It's not a loose blade, as you know how Opinels get.  As long as you keep pressure on the back and not use it to poke at something it works well.  Picasso used a No 5 to carve with and it looks like he did pretty well without the lock.

    I'm not a long time Opinel owner.  However, I have used slip joint knives my whole life and never thought too much about it.
     I did manage to charge the battery on my Cub and mow some.  Changed the oil and serviced the air filter.  Cleaned up the weed wacker a little and ran it a while.  Hot here and dry as a bleached bone.  Best wishes.  Gary

My oldest got our yard mowed yesterday.  It's been in the low 80's here and some thunderstorms.  I think it's going to be a wet Spring!
