Thank you for sharing with us, what you would do. Many of us do it differently. Opinel is about cheap and functional pocket knife.

Vous avez très bien résumé 👍 l'aspect authentique et unique de ce couteau intemporel. Mais chez nous aussi en FRANCE Il y a des adeptes des modifications d'Opinel. 🥖 🥐 ☕️ 🍷🗼 🐓 🇨🇵

:D

That is not true :) The knife is both original and authentic.

Thank you very much for your positive comment. You made my day happier :)

wow. Did it fit without problems, or you had to cut it in half? Or how did you do it?

Hi, this is a tricky question :) All we need is a sharp object, e.g. sharp stone. You can do all you need with a 106, I agree. For different tasks and different people different knives give different ease of usage. And we take also other characteristics like the ease of carry, fun, looks, feeling, handle shape, steel etc. into the equation. I still use 106, but around the house I use pocket knife Civivi Elementum button lock and from the fixed blades I use the most my own handle with Morakniv Classic stainless steel blank blade. Then Morakniv Classic 2 and 106 is on the third place. Maybe you can show us your 106 with the sheath you made. I would like to have a look :)

@@KobriakKnives Thank you for the answer. I wish I could send a picture in the response. I have a Bark River bushcrafter that's too thick and I bought a LT Wright GNS that's a good thickness and large enough for anything. I want to take the 106 out and try it as the only knife.

Hi Dmitry, could you explain in more detail what do you mean under military use?

@@KobriakKnives i mean it's good as a soldier knife. I see many of them on Ukrainian soldiers. I have spoken to several of them. They believe that this is the best knife for a soldier. It is light, durable and cheap. Its sheath can be easily attached to military equipment.

Exactly. Pure functionality.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

I am glad to hear that :) Laughter is important :)

It is beautiful. However too small for my tasks, so I have stopped using it.

@@KobriakKnives oh man!

@@KobriakKnives I mean I agree. I prefer thicker and serious knife as it is very useful. However this itself is small, but can be very useful for letter opening so it’s not all that bad anyway

I am glad you did like it.

Vďaka.

Hello Witzeto! Thank you for your comment. What kind of swords or knives do you like?

@@KobriakKnives Thanks for replying! Well, being Japanese myself I am always partial to a good Katana or Tanto, though along with those my personal favourites would have to be the Shashka, as well as the European Longsword. While those are my favourites, I hold an interest in all swords from all different cultures, as they all have much interesting history and wielding styles to them that can be learned. Thanks for reading

@@witzeto150 I see we have similar taste.

Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience with katanas and swords.

Hi Marco. Thank you. Greetings from Slovakia :)

You are right. And this one is also usable.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Danke schoen fuer dein Kommentar. I have heard about HEMA, but never did it. Which makes it you compared to me an expert :) Regarding bushcraft and survival I consider myself beginner with some experience. I was not in the millitary, but I did few overnighters in the forest either alone or with friends from Systema class. Compared to average person we are experienced guys, compared to people who live of bushcraft/survival classes we are beginners :)

@@KobriakKnives indeed it's all relative :) I think you'll really like HEMA if you tried it. It's a lot of fun :)

You are probably right. Probably in some bigger town around I could find some sparing partners for HEMA. When I was small, I knew two guys who were sword fighting. They had some scars, one was missing a part of the muscles on his arm and leg and one finger on foot was gone :) Plus they liked alcohol drinking and brawls like a real medieval warriors. But no one was carrying a sword on the street so I chose kickboxing as a more useful martial art at that time. Until a guy attacked me with a knife in a dark alley. Then I went to Systema. But nowdays streets are very safe compared to 25 years ago, so I can choose what is more fun and not what is more useful in self defence. I will give HEMA a thought. Thank you Shamorin Silentblade :)

That sounds like a robbery :)

@@KobriakKnives I think he wants to buy them haha xD

Thank you for your suggestion. I do the eights (I guess you call it flourishes, because I do not know what flourishes are) as I was taught with a knife, stick or a batton during Systema classes. I was doing it not really for an arm strength, I did it just for fun to learn to move fluidly and to slash non-stop with the sabre. There should not be blocks in Systema, just redirecting of the oponent, that is why fluid non-blocking movement is importatnt in that martial art.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

Thank you.

You are right. Companion has better value as a tool.

I have killed a dead wood with it :D It is still a knife, so can be used for camping also. 99% of people will use it for camping, as there is no need to use it as a bayonet.

Thanks for your opinion.

I agree.

I like it very much. With Civivi elementum 2 button lock Raccoon is my most used pocket knife.

Hi, I bought it directly in the physical store. I guess they had it like a seasonal goods, so probably they are not selling it anymore.

Like with other Victorinox knives. It works well and it is durable. Of course I use it only for small cutting, no wood or hard plastic. Just loose threads, paper, plastic covers on packages, etc.

@@KobriakKnives thx

thanks

Thanks
