I make knives but in 95% of my time my EDC is an Opinel, the number 8 with the carbon steel blade to be precise. Best value pocket knife you can get for the money. A simple design, sharp out of the box and easy to sharpen when it got dull. I own a few of them, one is in my shop, one I carry, one is one my boat, my wife ows one so do my sons. A few I’ve lost. But at that price a loss won’t neither break my heart not my bank account.

I have carried a pocket knife every day since I turned 7 (in 1949!) when my grandfather gave me my first 'penknife' and have owned a few since. At present I have a Kershaw and a rather pricey little Spiderco.... lovely knives, sure... works of art in their way, but pretty expensive. I have seen, but never closely inspected, an Opinel, so just a few days ago splashed the very small number of dollars (about one eighth of the cost of my Spiderco) on a little #6 Opinel, which arrived yesterday afternoon on the courier. I am an engineer, and there is only one word to describe the Opinel design; it is Elegant. Simple in the extreme, totally functional and therefore very beautiful in its simplicity. No springs to break, no fancy latches to go wrong and the most ergonomic grip in the business, bar none! Impressive. The carbon steel blade is first quality (yes I tested it!), wonderfully thin and will cut with great efficiency. Brilliant, and great to see a brand 'sticking to it's knitting' and continuing to make these wonderful tools exactly as they were designed to be. The modern machinery in the factory no doubt help not just to meet demand (and I cannot see that doing anything but growing) but also to keep the price at such an incredibly reasonable level. Wow... just wow.....

I’m Swiss and as much as I love the versatility, mechanical ingenuity and precision of our Victorinox SAK’s, I must admit I'm equally impressed with the simplicity of Opinels. And honestly right out of the box they are much sharper than the Swiss knives. A piece of wood, a blade, a ferrule with a pin and the viroblock ring and the thing works perfectly. This is reduction to the max on a genius level. And it makes them extremely lightweight and low cost. I also love how easily you can pimp and customize them. Color and/or reshape the handle. Drill a hole and add a cool paracord or leather lanyard. And with vinegar and/or mustard (of course French Dijon mustard works best) you can also paint or splatter the carbon blade versions or give them a damast steel look. Such customized Opinels make great gifts. I own ten Opinels in sizes of no. 4 to 12 and found the Numbers 6 to 10 the most useful. The no 12 was the only purchase I regret. The handle is waaay too long for being practical. It feels almost like a small machete, but being a folder w/o the ability to (ab)use it as one... IMHO this is the size where the genius design reaches its limit. Although I don’t own the Opinel saw, I assume the long handle works much better there.

What is nice with opinels is that it's cheap and you can abuse them if necessary, and you can really choose the size that fits your hand. I really like the 9 and 10; ideal size would be 9 1/2 Also, there is #12 with serrated blade, which is supposed to be used as bread knife.
@robshirewood5060 Жыл бұрын
I also have some and 6-12 of which the 8 is the most used but i like the12. I also have the folding saw, mushroom knife, oyster knife, and garden pruning knife, and use them all regularly. To my chagrin i used to ignore the Opinel without the lock until i matured and realised how good they are but will always use the locking ones. I actually used a 12 to shape my guitar neck when i built a custom guitar, as a small "draw knife" two handed, and as a scraper for smooth shaping.

there is something, let´s say, basic cozyness in Opinel knives. my beloved grandmother had one (now i know it was nr 7) in Soviet Estonia - don´t know where it came from, because you could only dream of buying those behind the iron curtain. it went effortlessly very sharp again and was her best little knife in kitchen. i did not know how to close it, although interested in knives, i understood it is a folding knife. grandmother used it as a fixed blade. even today, as a knife enthusiast and collector i always keep nr 7 in carbon steel at home. i tend to give those sometimes away to non knife people and rebuy. again and again. thank you, Opinel, for the quality and timeless design!

As does most people on channels like this, I have many many pocket knives. The two that I find in my pocket most are my Opinel #6 and #8. I Customized the handles. Nothing fancy, just a good sanding, burned with a blowtorch and varnished and gave the blades a nice patina. So simple and so functional for the money. The fact that you can customize the handles and blades with confidence in knowing you’re not taking a chance on an expensive knife is just a bonus.

I will have to check my collection to see if any have that upgrade. I also have 2 paring kitchen knives. Thank you Opinel for making such fine simplistic tools.

I bought my first Opinel, a number 8, at the age of fourteen whilst sailing the famous old wooden pilot cutter Jolie Brise along the Britanny coast in 1984, along with a pack of filterless Gauloise fags. That knife was sadly lost overboard a year or so later, but I have been buying Opinels and using and abusing them ever since. When I was a chef the only knives bought for myself were an Opinel santoku and an Opinel pairing knife. I treasured them and woe betide any other chef who borrowed them! I still have them in my kitchen at home but they are semi -retired. I have just taken delivery of an Opinel number 6 to use whilst wild camping in the UK as it (sort of) complies with UK carry laws. The blades are excellent, the handles simple but beautiful and user friendly and for such a good product they are excellent value for money. One of MANY reasons this proud Englishman will always love La Belle France!

They're definitely not a quick access spring-assist type EDC / defense pocket knife.

A buddy of mine stole one from a local fishing shop when we were kids and his mother was too embarrassed to take it back, me being the bad influence best friend/brother she gave it to me for some reason. Anyhow this was about 16 years ago when I was / we were around 12/13. I still have it and carry it regularly and we still use it to fillet fish. Still a wicked sharp knife after years in the mud and water. Rusted on me once or twice being left in a pocket for a few days after fishing. Little sandpaper and WD-40, quick touch on a ceramic stone and a strop you can't even tell. My unlce gave me one from 1978 he said he bought it and that one has a nice patina and a nice dark color to the handle after years of being used and absorbing oil from your hands. You guessed it, wicked sharp just like a brand new one. These knives stand the test of time like only a few other knives can. If I ever had the money to spend I'd order a bunch of them and give one away everyone I see out fishing. This is that legendary old pocket knife that your grandpa uses for everything and somehow never loses its edge. P.S. the shop owner knew us and he saw my buddy take the knife, but we were good kids and he was a really nice old man, he's since left the body, but he was that old shop owner who was a badass WW2 vet in his youth and a very successful highly regarded man in the small town we lived in who was humble in his old age and enjoyed spending his days opening up his shop and talking to the fisherman who came in. He totally knew he took it but never raised a fuss. That's why my buddys mom was too embarrassed

The factory sharpness isn't what it used to be. But at some point one needs to learn how to maintain the knife anyway. This is something one still really owns. (no kill chips and subscription service) The blades are made from good steel. So they take on a fine edge and hold it rather well. After initial sharpening I only needed a leather strop to bring it back to shaving sharpness. These knifes are very light weight and compact, so it's easy to carry them at all times. That results in a lot of use. And I modified the grip to fit my hand better. With a bit of care, those knifes last a long time. They really grow on the user and become a little treasure. My favourites are the N°9 in carbon steel and the N°6 in stainless. I'm also preparing a stainless N°8 as a gift for a friend who likes to travel light. That means sharpening, removing hotspots from the grip, removing the laquer and treating it with linseed oil, making a custom leather pouch and building a leather strop.

Under UK law, it is not inherently illegal to carry a knife. (There are a few specific types that are forbidden in all circumstances, such as a belt buckle knife.) However, if challenged, it is up to the carrier to show that they have a legitimate purpose. There is an exemption for knives that are folding, non locking, with a blade no longer than 3 inches/75 mm. These small non-locking knives are assumed to be an EDC item unless they are used in a threatening or aggressive manner. So if you have an Opinel No 8 with lock ring in your boat bag, your hiking rucksack, your tool box, etc., it is not inherently illegal. However, you would not get away with carrying one in your pocket into a nightclub. I used to be a regular scuba diver. Divers often wear a long fixed blade knife in a sheath strapped to their leg. I could walk around the harbour wall to the boat with such a knife and never be challenged. Had I then worn the same knife on a trip to the pub near the harbour, I would have had some explaining to do. Thousands of Opinel No 8s and other non-EDC knives are legally sold and owned in the UK. The second point, of course, is detection and enforcement. Most police officers are sensible and make due allowance for circumstances and behaviour. If you are using an Opinel No 8 with a lock ring in place in a sensible and unthreatening manner, there is no reason why a police officer would even become aware that you were carrying it. UK law has a long tradition of including words like "reasonable" (reasonable cause, reasonable excuse, reasonable precautions, reasonable care, etc.) which gives both the police officer and the courts plenty of scope for making a reasonable decision. Many of our laws are there for the police to rely on when really needed, rather than to be enforced for their own sake.
