I'm the ninth player. Does this mean I must use a n°9 the whole month ?  :D

🙄.   Oh, I have been stocking up on No06s and No08s in different woods and colors.   Or, have I seen No01. Would I even be able pick it up?

Do you have a No09?

Foolish question🥺. Sure he does look at the name, folk!  He likely has multiples of Every model.   (Oh, I said that outloud :oops:)

I think they have been discontinued since the 1930s, so would probably be difficult to find.

Yes, that and the No. 11, both discontinued in 1930.

I actually only have the one I'll be using for the challenge at the moment. But I'd lie if I said I haven't had or passed on almost all sizes.
And my kids all have at least one (the one for kids for when they were, well kids), and now all have at least another, depending on their interests in life, more of the adventure kind.
Never had an N°11 or a 01 either, they're in museums now.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure I 've ever personally had a n°13 either.
When I come across one that is old and or broken in a garage or tool box, I do like to customize them and give them back to whomever had them in the first place. Nothing fancy like some, just giving them a second chance.

And since someone opened the door, I must say there are some really great budget French knifes other than Opinels. The two that come to mind easily are the Douk-Douk (I love how slim it is) and the Kiana, which is a more modern and dishwasher safe knife. All under $20 so pretty good value.

I know the Douk-Douk but I'm not familiar with the Kiana.  I'll have to look it up.

Beware. It's kinda ugly, really, but it has the merit of being a newcomer in the less than $20 segment,  just doesn't have that historic touch an Opinel or a Douk.
Then it's up to Laguiole, Theirs and a lot of expensive custom knives my bank account and I try to stay away from.  :D
