I'd never seen one before, love the locking mechanism. What a cool knife! For me personally it (No. 8 ) is a little past my pocket carry size, but I'll probably keep it in El Jeep. Put the Soldier in there for size comparison... and I just like taking pictures of it! :D

I'm currently having trouble with my 9 being so swelled that I can barely open it right now. I've been setting it in direct sunlight to try to reduce the swelling. It's a tricky time of year for the wooden handles. Here's my 8 for today.Yep. That's why I was asking how others treat the handle to avoid this.

I used to never be without my Opinels but since the new knife laws came in i switched to SAK for edc, still use my old carbon 8 at work though as i work on private land, its on rotation with the rest of my lockable SAKs, i just leave them at work to save any hassle :tu:
Post by: zr0dfx on June 29, 2017, 12:45:15 AM
And I saw it today, just a few days after I removed the Opinel Jardin from my EDC. I carried it for 3 years and familiarized with it after inscripting with a pyrograph.

I wonder if you would apply mineral oil to the handle, and wipe it down if it would help. I did that to my cutting boards that I made some 40 years ago and still do on occasion for mom's and grandma's (now mine).

I think you may have already mentioned, but how do you like it compared to SS? Be careful not to get salt water on it! I just watched a video of someone leaving their carbon Opi in a glass of salt water and it's crazy how fast it changed after a couple days. But I HARDLY EVER store my SAKs in salt water anyway, lol.
Stays sharper longer... other advantages? :cheers:

Thanks guys :tu: I guess I just like carbon steel :D The No 8 I have is SS (thanks again colt :salute: ) and is great as well and I would never see one of those being better than the other :cheers: SS and carbon both have pros and cons but I just like and use both :tu: The No 8 is probably a bit better size to me but the No 7 was the very first one I bought and I do quite like the size of it as well ::) :D In a nutshell carbon or SS and No 7 or 8 are all great knives and Opinels will always have my respect in terms of quality :salute: :like:
OK, Thanks Poncho! Sorry I didn't get back sooner, I just started a new job working construction last week, and things have been a little chaotic lately. :ahhh :ahhh Here's my No. 9 for today. :cheers:

Will your car still run properly while missing a bone? Or is that like taking the distributor cap off?

Oh, memories... Summer camp as a kid in France back end of the 70s and just having enough money to buy me a smaller Opinel, I even modded it (already??) with a small lanyard eyelet screwed into the handle. I'd had it for a long time since then but then lost it... pity. I might attempt a renewed acquaintance...Renewed acquaintance made in the form of a no. 8 in a leather sheath

I've sold off a heck of a lot of stuff over the last couple of years, but still have way more than I'll ever need. I don't mind having a surplus so long as they get carried occasionally, which most of my stuff actually does.

Same here, it's nice to pull one out to carry that doesn't see a lot of pocket time. I just got done moving a few of my knives into the boxes for later on down the road. I'm trying to limit my EDC selection as much as possible ( for now :D).

I have carried the Marjacq a few times, but rarely have an occasion to carry the #8 Opinel hawkbill. I don't do a lot of pruning. :P Cool knives though!
They have two of my favorite features in a wood handled knife. Light and locking blade. :)

Opinels are my only non SAK folding knives these days. My two number 8's are daily service knives in the work shop out back and the kitchen. I love how Opinels cut. I will soon be getting a number 6 and maybe a number 4 to replace my "peanut' class of pocket knives.

Nice collection! Of the different sizes out there, my all time favorite would have to be the the No. 9. I just love the big blade for heavy duty work, and it carries well in the pocket for it's size. The No. 6 is a great EDC pocket blade in that it doesn't take up a lot of space, but is still a very capable little blade. Here is my current collection. Starting from top to bottom: No. 6, No. 8, No. 8 Outdoor, No. 9, My modded Super 9, No. 12 Explore, and my two Svords. :cheers:

I had a few outright friction folders over the years like the Japanese Higonokami and the Sardinian Resolza, and I started to use my Opinels like them. I have the pivot rivet snugged up so the blade is a snug fit, but still openable when wet. Most times I don't bother twisting the lock and just depend on the cutting force keeping the blade open.
When I first read that the virobloc ring wan't added to the Opinel until 1955, that was very interesting to me. All the years with slip joints made me think that maybe I don't need the lock. After all, Joseph Opinel didn't invent the peasants knife, he was just the first one to put the design into mass production. Before that, the peasants knife was sort of a locally produced by blacksmith/craftsmen thing.
So, for a few years now, I've been using the Opinel as a pure friction folder peasants knife like the true penny knife of the European working class. I still have all my fingers so far. :D

I don´t use the lock very often. Mainly because I forget to. And I haven´t lost any fingers either.
For a while, you didn't need to with my one No. 9, the handles was so badly swollen that you could barely open the blade :poh:

I may have put too much forward/downward force on it. Stupid, right. :facepalm:
I just kept on sawing though.
It served me well for 15 about months now, 4 days a week.
I like it so much that this evening, when I got home, I ordered another one.
It should be here this time tomorrow, only E 26 to my door.
I´ll shoot a comparison pic when it arrives.

I've got a standard 12, bought it because the complete opposite in the Opinel lineup, the 2 didn't have the closing friction I wanted (and no lock). For a general camping/outdoor knife I don't think one can do much better, aside from the Explore, which is Sandvik stainless and has a firestarter and gut hook.
Post by: gerleatherberman on July 09, 2018, 05:01:31 AM
I've really enjoyed the Explore the few times I carried it. The blade grind is really really attractive as well. My Explore is a bit too stiff, but I know that will ease up with time.
I had no idea it used Sanvik, so thank you for the info. :cheers:
It seems to be Opinel's foray into multitools. The hook is well ground, the fire starter is thick and hides well. The whistle isn't great, but in a survival situation, it may be useful. The color scheme makes it really hard to lose as well. :)
Edit:
Spartan, that is very nice. :like:
I need to get an Opinel with that color scheme. :drool:
