Opinels, damn near perfect knife in my opinion. Lightweight, sharp, durable, extremely durable lock, good ergonomics,one handed opening( if you get creative), and come in various sizes and colors, and best of all, cheap. I wish I found this knife before I blew $100+ on knives.

[@sneak6654]

I have the #6 through #12 and I love them all. You are right the #12 is a beast, I use it mostly in the garden to harvest vegetables and to prune plants.cuts like a champ.

[@TURK_182]

The first time I saw an Opinel I was a kid. My friend had the smallest one and it was the sharpest knife out of any of the knives that my friends carried. I've got some really nice knives in my collection but I use my #8 the most. Partly because I wouldn't be very upset if I broke it but more so, it gets the job done! And keep the experience ones in good shape!

[@djo7024]

And for what do you use it?

[@InoxEdge]

I really love this set, such a simple and beautiful collection.

[@troyhill1924]

You should make a "bucket list of knives" video or maybe a series of videos lol

[@dedosare]

I remember visiting 3 shops in Austria while I was touring with a band, and they all had Opinel's but they were all stamped Inox, too bad they didnt had any carbon ones. i love these knives, so simple and organic.

[@papuchu]

At first i was reluctant to buy an opinel, cause here in Spain we have a lot of good cutlery at very affordable prices. Finally i got a carbón #8 and i liked it very much, but soon it broke on my hands just whittling a piece of elm wood. Years later i found in an old hardware store a cabon #12 opinel, and gave it a 2nd opportunity cause the blade was fairly thick and i thought it won't break easy, it restored my faith in Opinels and love that sharp big blade. Since then i've bought 4 more carbón #12 to gift them to my sons and relatives... Is one of my most used blades at home and outdoors.

[@davids9549]

Got a No8 Carbon many years ago and didn't have great expectations. It impressed me so much I bought another (identical) as a backup, but have yet to use it because the original is still going strong. Now I've just ordered a No12 Slimline (only made in stainless, but it'll do) for fishing - can't wait!

[@mathurm100]

just got my first opinel. was impressed with the flat grind. also used it to carve some glass filled nylon out of a polymer 80. sharp as hell. love these.

[@MaybuTron]

I absolutely love my Opinel! I forced a patina on mine using mustard & got some really nice tiger stripes on it! You can get the carbon blades very, very sharp with little work. As you said, a must have in any collection!

[@MeiZ125]

I bought one in California and I use it for work honestly one of my favorite knife brands

[@mwillblade]

Bought #9 21yrs. ago and still going strong .

[@davidoneill2254]

I went to the factory in France one year to see them being made, it's really interesting and has a rich history, you should check it out if your ever over there

[@hallquiche]

I got one #8 from my dad when i was like 8 and you encouraged me to find it and use it again! Thanks!

[@sae1095hc]

I like how Opies are ground to have a really tiny secondary bevel. Make 'em slice good and makes 'em extra easy to re-sharpen, especially the Carbone ones! The Carbone ones are XC-90 which is pretty much identical to 1095 so it's pretty good. I imagine there are quite a few younger guys without any experience with straight low alloy carbon steel. So one of these would be a good introduction.

[@frankvanoostendorp]

Hated them at first but love the knives once you get to use it. Had my n. 9 for a number of years now. Patina is a wonderful thing!

[@TaeIeon]

I have the N.08 Inox (stainless). A great conversation piece and a staple in my edc rotation

[@pagesegovia2026]

Carried one before I even got into EDC and pocket clip folder tactical bullshit and it still sets the standard for what a knife should be. Absolute perfection in a knife.

[@tompetz1882]

I've been buying them when I visit France for years. It's funny how that in the US most haven't heard of them but in France, every single convenience store you go in carries at least 4 sizes from 6 to 10. I love mine. I have both Carbone and Inox and have never had a problem with either. The carbone clearly takes and holds an edge better but the Inox is just as usable and quite good.

[@grahams6390]

Own 2 of these purchased in the early70's I think...one has spent its life as a utility blade in my in house tool box and the other in the garage sticking in a block of cedar on my work bench..always handy...easy to sharpen...lots of patina..

[@DeanO]

That is an awesome price for 10 quality knives. Thanks for showing this

[@DamionJR4923]

They are amazing slicers.

[@lumspond]

I have the #8 in carbon steel. I'm glad you opened the teeny one as I wanted to see it up close. Cheers.

[@crist6527]

Beautiful set

[@kwacker45]

Sweet, my favourite budget knives.great blades

[@YEAIMSURE]

I really love these knives, I got three for Xmas and they're amazing

[@brownranchcustoms1651]

I just got a no. 8 today and so far, I love it

[@idkiguess7019]

What are the sizes for all of those opinels? Like certain inches for all of those?

[@sithlordpunkin]

Awesome set. Been edc-ing a #9 for a long time. Great blades no doubt.

[@deerhunterp]

I love these. I have the 10, 9 and 7.

[@jobyEN]

I EDC a No.6 and it is just perfect for my needs. Opinels are great!

[@sellsidedream8766]

I have a 2 a 7 and a 12 explore. Love all 3 of them.

[@JiuJitsuCowboy1]

Opinel No. 6 INOX... had it for 7 years. Got it when I was 17. I love it.

[@neojeets]

Sweet looking set.

[@jeanmartox3570]

hello to France! In my country every man go to 18 years got a présent to his father a Opinel!! Thank's for this quality revue!!

[@SHOzFST]

Just found a No 7 in a suede sheath in our kitchen everything drawer. Asked my wife where it came from and she had no idea. Cool little knife so I thought I’d research it. Thanks for the info. It’s going in my bug out bag or I may carry it for a while.

[@brianhilligoss]

Never gave much thought on these but going to try one out.

[@themadbatter165]

Seems to be a common trend but my dad picked one up when I was young, later letting me take care of it. still have it, performs like a dream. dig the video Jeff!

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

Great collection i have 2 opinel have to get some more soon.

[@220904416]

I bought an opinel to replace my karambit I would EDC because the karambit had a broken tip. The opinel is one of the sharpest knives I own. Easy to touch up, holds an amazing edge, and slices through anything like butter. for $40NZ it's an amazing buy.

[@Denbeeer]

I always loved my opinels.. man thats good value for the price

[@AdvancePlays]

I think I'll get one of the smaller of these guys after I've gone through my current higo. Really is a great, simple design.

[@ArtisanTony]

I have always liked the looks of these knives.

[@glytch5]

Man i've always wanted this set!

[@sea9984]

Proud owner of a no 6!! Absolutely awesome knives at a very ncie price and AMAZING cutters

[@nicolasfalcone1]

Hey cutlery do you think you can send me link on the review you did on this knife

[@donmartin9533]

Great review because it made me think! I have always preferred the stainless blades from Opinel, just because they always look "new." Your comments about "patina" got me to thinking... A nice collection of well patinad knives would also be a beauty to behold. Just don't know if I would ever use all 10 knives enough to achieve that. Maybe I should try!

[@wokeil]

I just ordered the opinel 9. Cant wait

[@openmypackage]

They have a nice garden set of knives and I like the 15 slim for a fillet fishing knife.

[@jordy2299]

Damn I really like that biggest one, looks so cool

[@The1320master]

i have a 2 and an 8 .. love them !

[@donvandenberg5301]

Got an opinel no. 6 and I love it as a pocket knife. Really want a no. 2 now.

[@IanHannaBlacksmith]

I've owned a whole bunch of knives but Opinels were the ones that finally stuck. I've been carrying a no. 9 I bought used (because I prefer the ones that say Opinel France on the blade) and I've been carrying it for over two years now. It's aged so much it looks like it could be 100 years old. I can't recommend them enough.

[@theJimmy2]

Bought a number 10 today. Really do like it :)

[@Hissatsu5]

I would like to see some testing vids with the big one just wondering how hard it can be used

[@laurencebrands8797]

Hissatsu5 watch the Dutch Bushcraft Knives vid on it.

[@Zoroaster4]

I've never been odd at all, but once I noticed that one knife i couldent stop looking at it

[@shaggyat5power112]

Yesterday I got a knife at an antique shop, its one of those that is a folder, but even when folded still has blade sticking out, it has a leather sheath, but when you open it the blade is like a foot long, its almost like a safty folder, but without the safety.

[@anthonyvisconte7977]

Do you get to choose the wood type when you order the set?

[@sputnikjones6838]

Iv been wanting on .so they had some at a sporting goods store. They had 6,8 and 10 in stainless. So i got the 8 im happy withvit i will maybe get another size next time im there.

[@kevinkane2189]

Hey Jeff u r my role model u have very good videos keep it up thanks for the videos

[@eskimoquinn1062]

Love the mighty Opinel! I have a gorgeous olive handle #8, but I have large hands so the #9 is better for me...

[@ToD3Azor]

bought a nr9 carbon last week...just like you said it's in the bucket list of knives

[@pxpxi826]

Please help i bought a opinel no3 inox steel knife and the blade is quite this due to the small knife how can i fix the knife from bending like a saw blsde every time i use it?

[@makeoscopy9060]

I bought one of these in france. I not only use it for filleting fish, but also for carving and whittling, which it is very good at. Is this bad?

[@Bert4s]

Opinel rules! And great to customize! My custom No 10 is my edc he puts a couple of spuderco’s back in the closet! 😅

[@mtstream55n]

I have the #8 and I EDC it. I love it!

[@BlazinBlades]

So very Cool! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@mischavanengelen898]

i bought myself a nr 8 outdoor for the boyscouts and a nr 7 in orange wich i was able to get razorsharp with a little diamondstone

[@GONZOFAM7]

I was hoping you were going to review each by size and number.

[@eskimoquinn1062]

Jaime Gonzalez they go #2 thru #12 skipping #11. #1 was for cleaning pipes and was discontinued long ago. The #11 was considered redundant as the #10 is quite large and the 12 is a beast. They also make a novelty #13 that is machete sized. The #8 is the most popular and comes in different handle colors and materials, though I prefer the #9 cause I have very large hands

[@10.11.9]

@@eskimoquinn1062 Thanks for the info.

[@eskimoquinn1062]

Selanne93 yessir

[@johnrhodes3350]

@@eskimoquinn1062 I agree...everyone traditionally recommends the Nō8 But I have man size hands and prefer the Nō9 for best hand feel. Or the Nō7 is more jeans pocket friendly, and perfectly usable for modest tasks using two fingers n thumb.

[@phitausundown]

so which size/model was the one that didn't have the marking? How did it work out as an EDC?

[@HahahaWeeee]

Love these knives

[@cesarazpeitia5172]

I feel the no 7 is the best in my opinion for edc small enough for it to be comfortable in the pocket and big enough to get the job done

[@seanhurley3548]

Yeah the 12 size is one of my faivrit knives I ever picked up its a very nice knife and it is actually way bigger than ude think

[@GriffinBenchmark]

I have not heard or seen a bad review about this knife yet! Haha! It's literally the first and only knife I have not heard a bad overall review of... It's almost like everyone doesn't have a choice but to own this knife! 🤔

[@syafiqsahdon]

My first knife in my collection is the opinel no 8. still one of my favourite

[@Gregg_T]

I recently bought the Opinel 6 (which I believe is the one of yours without markings) in carbon steel and also a walnut and oak handled one in stainless and neither the oak or the walnut handled versions had any markings. However, the beech handled carbon version did.

[@HonsRulz]

I like how they look without the logo on the handle and I did not know that the smallest ones were slip joints. I gotta buy one of the small ones now lol.

[@Bladsmith]

***** They're not even slipjoints, just plain non-locking knives.

[@xXSpartan029Xx]

***** Yes, slipjoints are non locking folders under spring tension, opinels are all friction folders with some having a ring lock and the smaller ones being exclusively friction folders.

[@eskimoquinn1062]

They have some upgraded #8s with different wood that are unmarked. I have an olive wood. Gorgeous

[@SANCHI1028]

Hey Jeff. So I literaetly just got an Opinel yesterday at REI and I know they are great knives but I think I got a crap one. There's some play in the blade and the locking mech. Is really stiff and it won't fully keep the blade from moving! Idk I wanted to go back and return it and get a carbon fiber rubberized one with a built I in whistle but idk. What r ur thoughts?

[@cutlerylover]

never tried the new ones, but they look cool...as for yours Id go back and demand a tade in for a better one they should not be like that new, some are tighter than others but none of the dozens Ive ever had were loose

[@BradGryphonn]

My No.7 Carbon lives on my belt. Hands down my handiest knife

[@chuckcartwright1328]

After a couple decades of everyday carry, after seeing this video, I checked my Opinel#8 and noticed it was unmarked!

[@gilbertojohnson6981]

Return it.

[@tatefranz6276]

I got one of these, very good knife!

[@spress97]

I love my Opinel 9 I could shave with the edge it keeps. Nice set Jeff.

[@kimalfa1596]

hi i've 2 1 12 and 1 8 very harp i think the one which it's not sealed it's not guinine.....i think oops if iam wrong

[@teknifix]

I have a carbon steel beechwood #7, and a stainless oak #8. I love them both. I would love to get an entire set some day. It's on the list of things to buy, just not too high on the priority list.

[@thehaloguy117]

My mum bought me a no7 before i went on a cadet camp, and its the first pocket knife i owned, love it to bits

[@johnrhodes3350]

Perfect size for trouser pocket. What a great Mum.

[@KaylynnStrain]

I have a green hsndle Opinel 8 stainless, freat knife !!! Opinel also has the 12 and 18 folding saws

[@llowey2]

just picked up my first opinel today a no9 carbon very nice so far but now means more money needs spent to get them all haha

[@1997michigan1997M]

I love opinels. I have two, one with a beech wood handle and one with a walnut handle. I also prefer the carbon steel blades. They stay sharp forever.

[@povsniper2875]

Dude love your videos can you please do a summer knife collection 2016

[@TheMaxxMiller]

Jeff, think there may be any value to that factory mishap? Just a thought. May want to grab another to EDC and keep that one nice and shiny for value.

[@wb5mgr]

They make a cool folding saw too that matches the knives...

[@frederiksoubry752]

i daily carry an inox 8 opinel simple but sharp when needed

[@KungFuTweety1]

have a bunch they are awesome!

[@whipped-creamhead3923]

I have a no. 6 from the 70s and damn I love these knives

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Whipped-cream Head :- The newer Opinals have a superior locking ringlock, locking open and closed, both right and left turn

[@michaelbjorklund1571]

I have so fare 3 Opinel knives and i love them

[@Flyingroadkilz]

the carbon ones tend to be able to have a much more wicked edge on them, its why i whent with that verses the stainless.

[@KerrankiSuomee]

I have only the smallest one (or something that is very similar) and you can really get them super sharp. I got a paper cut x)

[@lfish21.]

Been looking for a solid cheap knife to have around. Ordering an opinel 8 right now.

[@soljohnson489]

for those with restrictive locking laws, if you lock the knife when closed, then forcibly open the knife, the lock should pop off, and can easily be replaced if needs be

[@joeldale97ii]

I stumbled upon that set a few weeks ago. Good looking set. Strange about the markings though..
