Lovely wood grain pattern.

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Opinel '24 Day 01
Another month, another bottle of pills.  I used my walnut handled No8 to remove the safety seal and childproof cap. :cheers:

Day 1



After carrying around a Center Drive for the last month decided to go in the opposite direction and carry something lightweight. Got my recently refinished Beech Wood no. 8 that I think turned out great and a PST II with me for today. What a great pairing.

Day 1

I used my No. 9 to trim a piece of scrap leather to use as a coaster. I just stained my desk with BLO and want to keep it looming sharp.   [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

I just luv what you did to your handle on the ‘9’🌹

And, the coffee mug❤️. Looking for a clean mug with an orange inner  color as that!!! 16 ounces?
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

No pictures, but used the No. 9 utility to unscrew a security camera and flip it around. First time using the driver on this and it works pretty good

Day 1.5

Posted earlier my OliveWood No8

This morning I just pulled my whole Opinel kit  down stairs from my office/work area.

Considering I did not own a Opinel until last fall, I must 🥺 admit, I have the fever🙄🔥

New here, hope I can join in. Just received my No. 8 carbone yesterday. I only have the one Opinel at the moment, but feel I could be heading down a (deep) rabbit hole!,

(I assume I’m required to post a different picture each day for the month of March?)

Day 1

Not an action shot, but did a small office move at work today and this came in handy for opening the new desk packaging and breaking it down.

@ JonesE. Thank you for the welcome. Just hoping I remember to post each day… I’ve the memory of a goldfish.

If you have a smart phone, set a reminder, or and alarm for each day of the month😎

A rubber band on your wrist, a string on your finger, or cut your finger then apply a bandaid.

The Goldfish reference, that was a take away from Ted Lasso?

If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 1

Crossover day! I opted to carry my smallest Opi today (No 4) since I had the larger GAK with me. I'll step up to one of the "full size" models tomorrow. No ring lock on this, which makes me a little nervous, especially on a key ring. Also some sharpish edges on the ring. Might be a great knife for backpacking or something when you need something smaller/lighter.
