It feels so manly to make these opinel modifications. We all do it differently but as men it is a great feeling of achievement!

[@gaylordpantamime]

A beautiful expression of creativity and the human mind

[@wheel2man]

Finally, someone who shows a good way to remove the pin. Stayed and subbed for the art. Thanks.

[@bushcraftonbike687]

you´re welcome :) glad you liked it

[@blondlezar8995]

You can easily remove the pin with a clip pliers (I think that's the english name of the tool, I'm french...) look at this video, it's pretty good ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oou4co2OhLWoepo

[@seeingthepattern]

Great video. An Opinel was the first knife I bought for myself - in the good old days when a 13yo could do that with his newspaper round money. Now I’m going to buy half a dozen and see if I make anything as good as yours.

[@yvandureve9870]

Thank you for continuing to bring to life the good old opinel knife, very nice achievement

[@mafromf6]

You got me when you took that big badass crowbar to remove pin 🤣🤣

[@alisadigout5617]

That was time well spent , loved it , I have subbed because of it and look forward to seeing your work.. Thank you very much , your works are not lost on me..

thanks Alisa, I appreciate it!

Selbst modifizierte Opinel sind immer super Geschenke! Ich bringe oben an der Klinge immer einen kleinen Grat an damit ich sie besser mit dem Daumen heraus flippen kann. Super gemachtes Video, viel besser als meins 😂👏

I think they are called Japanese saw rasps.

[@FranzWetternach-eo9fj]

Warum belässt man ein Opinel nicht so, wie es vom Werk kommt? Es ist gut so !!! Einfach nur ab und zu schleifen - fertig. Wenn ich in Frankreich Urlaub mache, kaufe ich immer wieder welche (bevorzugt Nr.9 Carbon) und verschenke sie, immer wieder ein dankbares Mitbringsel.

[@asilvestrandome]

Really a good job. Cool bunch of presents.

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

those are really awesome mods

[@abc-iq9fk]

You don't need to take it apart and sand the wood inside to have a free one hand opening. You just have to cook the whole knife in oil for 20-30 minutes. The wood becomes very dark too, and will be naturally protected from moisture. It would've saved you 3/4 of the time spent in the process.

[@bushcraftonbike687]

oh thats interesting, never heard of that method, thanks!

[@lucasmills1246]

@@bushcraftonbike687 That's because it's the destroy your heat treat and knock your edge off all the time method. I know it's a $15 knife these days, but putting in work always shows over short cuts. I'd personally rather have one of these knives you worked on than an Opinel french fry.

[@bushcraftonbike687]

Just made the spey blade mode to mine Want to test it for skinning as to much point digs into flesh

[@gianlucapx]

Hi, is it possible to mount the #9 blade in the #8 handle? I want the shorter handle of the #8, but I think the #9 handle can be shortened only by few millimeters before leaving the tip of the blade free. So I was thinking to buy both and put the blade of the #9 in the #8 handle.

[@vladimirkovacevic1656]

hello i have problem with extremly thin tip can you file it freehand i dont have vice

[@wernerjungbluth2137]

Hi, I just found your great clip? You are not maybe selling some mods, as I am not able to do this on my own? I love the second from above, kind of bowie blade and no etching Best greetings from Los Angeles, Werner

[@troygreenwood4933]

great job! i realy liked the ""curved one", the second one from the bottom.. i'd like to try making one myself although i don't think i can get such nice curves without a belt-sander..

[@bushcraftonbike687]

I think it is very possible - although more work :)

[@enriquecapilla2304]

Me gustas lo que haces con las opinel

[@mickkeim4142]

Hey Bushcraft, those are indeed some works of art. I love your approach. You could do some sort of geometric lines, and leave the blade with just a wash. Your work is really amazing because there will never be a small batch of Opinels that will be exactly like these. Great work and thanks for sharing. Also, although I do not think it would be good on this batch of your knives, I wonder if you have put any pocket clips on one?

[@bushcraftonbike687]

Hey Mick, the pocketclip is actually a great idea! Never done that but maybe will give it a try!

[@pavel7333]

Foarte frumos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

does the staining with mustard work on the opinel inox blades too?

[@bushcraftonbike687]

no not really

[@jakqup]

This is f** awesome.

[@jerosh2011]

How to remove the black paintings on the blade if i wanted to after sometimes ??????

[@bushcraftonbike687]

Technically its not a painting but an itching as far as I know. And you can NOT really remove it, but it will fade away though, especially when you cut sour fruit like apple or lemons for example, because the acid will also change the colour of the blade.

[@jerosh2011]

@@bushcraftonbike687 thank you for your reply....i did remove it with sand paper 1200 .and water ...it took long time and it didnt go completly....then i tried to polish it with compound ...and polish....it looks great now ...thanks again

[@rogerflorensa]

Nice job! For how long did you let the mustard on the blade?

[@bushcraftonbike687]

thank you! I let it on there for maybe an hour.

[@blondlezar8995]

That's mustard ???

[@rogerflorensa]

@@blondlezar8995 Yes. It's the acetic acid in the mustard doing the job, while its thickness allows for drawing patterns, which would be imposible with pure acetic acid or vinegar.
