Did we get lock in on a date? A couple people floated February, but I'd like to do the 108 challenge, so I'm going to throw my 2 cents for March.

It’s tough to keep up, but I think the 108 challenge is on for January.

No, a Classic Challenge has been enrolling members for January, Explorer is organizing.

Then Enginears, indicated February for a 100 & 108 challenge.

Both are listed in the Swiss forum room. 

I was under the impression Barry Rowland start discussion for a Opinel challenge last fall or earlier, but he ran the 60 Day Spirit in Oct/Nov, then is now doing a MP600 Challenge in December which was a spur of the moment event.

I have been experimenting with Opinel models just in case. 

I have not checked the master list in General yet for 2024 to see what is listed.  Just have an impression that the SAK group do their own thing.

I

March is open.
I just sent a PM to Farmer X since he started the poll and this discussion!

Will March fit the calendar for you AWL French Opinel fans?

Dan (Farmer X) hasn't visited MTo or AAPK since October 6th. I am hoping that everything is okay with him.

By the way, I intend to participate also. I have a couple of #6s that I bought after Dan started this thread.

I was intrigued and knew I would like the set as an alternative to plastic ware ore trying to eat balancing items off the end of a knife blade.  Soup is a pain!🙄

Only down side is if you have a steak or pork chop and need to cut pieces, then reassemble to utilize the fork, but then again a good reason to have another NO.08 or 06 handy. 😎

That's the MTO Spirit!!   :tu:

In that Spirit, I sent a message PM to SteveC requesting we change the title of this thread for the Challenge, March 2024 and to remove the poll.  Also, to link it with in the Pinned thread of 2024 Challenges.
Hopefully possible. Since it appears many folk have committed, are following, and likely subscribed.
Stand by.  Otherwise a new thread will be required🤨

Agree.  I have considered putting two No8 in the kit for that reason.

It is official!
This thread is now the challenge thread.  We will start the challenge March 1.   
Of course since February’s challenges will overlap it is practical for overlapping  day 30 and day 1. Allowing a member to finish day 30 on any February challenge  and also start on day 1 of this event.

1.  Post a picture, of your Opinel knife or other implement ,  each day of the challenge .e

2. Please tag your daily post with number of your post.  You can post a missed day  on the next day following as long as you call out your error, then post your current day to resync your progress.

3. If I  understand the challenge badges, we will require 10 members to complete for a badge to be created.

Please add your name to the list,!   I know many have made a verbal commitment within this thread, but let us make it official.   
Thank you,  let us have fun time in March, preparing for a great spring for us northern hemisphere members.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!
