Great Openel Quality sharp durable locks closed and locks open for safety beech wood handle

This was perfect for a first time go for my son

One Very good Quality knife with full rust resistance that holds and retains it's edge lightweight in your pocket well designed and this knife has been in existence since the late 18th century. I've researched this knife company from France and it has a very long history of making quality knives and great quality made with care and you can be sure that it's money well spent. I bought thisbecause it's blunt there's no Point on the blade but very sharp and it's identical to a common butter knife that you'll find in your utensil shelf and this knife has a locking mechanism on it so you can be sure that'll keep on opened and won't close on you while you're using it. One very well made knife is all I can say about this knife and I never thought that France has some quality knives they're selling under the radar!

got this for my 11 year old son so he had a safer knife in the barn/farm.

As I said, I love the design of this knife. It's adequately sharp to do simple food prep tasks. However, if you run a finger lightly along the blade edge, it feels rough and deformed in a microscopic way. It feels like when the blade is folded, that the blade edge rests up against the wood surface inside of the handle slot, and this contact is doing damage to the blade edge. I tried sharpening the blade with an inexpensive ceramic knife sharpener, and I still could feel a bit of roughness. I suppose this isn't the end of the world given the price level, and maybe this is why the product is marketed as a child's beginner knife.All in all, it feels like it's worth about what I paid for it.

Perfect starter knife for your kid who wants to first time widdle.

My children are 8 and 9 and starting a wilderness course. I wanted them to have their own knives but I was really nervous about it until I found these. They are very sharp!! but they have a rounded tip which was exactly what I was wanting given the age of my children. They lock while open and they lock while closed. Worth every penny, easy for the children to use on their own, fits their hand well and fits in their pocket perfectly. The only thing I would change to it is maybe adding a pocket clip or a belt clip just because my son had his and his pocket and it ended up falling out unknowingly. Miraculously we were able to find it but if it was clipped to his pocket it never would have happened.

The knife is lighter in weight than I was expecting because I'm used to larger knives that are all metal. The body of this one is lighter weight wood (not flimsy, just light) and the blade is thin (again, not flimsy) so it won't drag your pocket down when you carry it. You could probably carry it in a shirt pocket, but you'd probably lose it that way.As advertised, there is no point -- it has a rounded end -- so it's not a stabby knife, it's a slicey knife, which is what it's designed for: cutting apples, oranges, sandwiches, etc. at a picnic, or the like. And as mentioned in the headline, the blade is very sharp (which is what you want in a knife), and I found that out on accident when washing it before using it.The locking mechanism is pretty simple: turn the locking ring to unlock it, pull the blade out, and turn the ring back to lock the blade open.I bought it to use as a non-scary looking pocket knife because it has no point on it and it will still cut things. It's also not too small or too large; just the right size for me.
