Review: My favorite Opinel! - Having owned traditional Opinel carbon steel folders in the no. 8 and no. 9 sizes for many years, I didn't think that this newer model with a stainless steel blade would impress me. I was wrong. This "garden knife" is different from the older-style no. 8 model several ways, and at first glance I'd have to rate these changes as improvements. 1) The blade on this model is a spear-point shape that has less "belly" than the traditional Opinel blade. For slicing food, and general use, I prefer the garden knife blade shape. While the carbon steel used by Opinel is rightly well-regarded for its ease of sharpening and edge-holding abilities, the garden knife's stainless blade came razor sharp out of the box. It is flat ground, well finished, and has performed well thus far. Time will tell, but I expect that the stainless steel will prove an excellent choice for food-cutting tasks. 2) The handle is wooden like the older models, but instead of the traditional fish tail shape at the butt end, the handle slims and curves to follow the knife edge when folded. The result is marginal weight savings, but more importantly an improvement in the blade-to-handle ratio which makes the knife feel noticeably smaller when carried in the pocket. Also, I'm not sure if a different wood or finish was used for this model's handle, but it feels finer and better made than my older samples. 3) The locking collar was improved to lock the blade closed as well as open. This is an important feature that has TMK been included on all of Opinel's folders. The blade 'action' on my sample is pretty much perfect for a knife of this style, which depends upon the friction in the pivot point being neither too tight nor too loose. This is a consequence of how well the knife was assembled, and for the ~$14 I paid, I'm very satisfied. I liberally applied mineral oil to the wood at the pivot point to both lubricate the joint and saturate the wood -- in my experience this minimizes the effects of humidity and washing on the blade action. We'll see how it holds up over time. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase. If this knife is any indication, Opinel has managed to improve its products since last time I bought one, and the price is still a bargain.
Review: Great value. Easy to sharpen great knife - I'm a little biased. I'm a fanboy of opinel Best knife for the price. I would prefer this knife over any other . Well made and sharp and the best part they sharpen up really easily
