Vulcha Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I've got one which I bought back from spain, and I'm not actually 100% sure where it is. Good knife though, like matey said easy to sharpen, get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have had Opinel knives all my life and they are superb, easy to sharpen, robust, but you can still lose them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancs Lad Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Opinel.........top knives................. Especialy now that I have figured out that that the little metal clip at the back of the blade and front of the handel twists to prevent the blade from folding back in again....... Yes.........................you can now all call me a TARD................. but, not before you all honestly say that you knew that from day one..........................

wickedandlazee Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 The good thing about the wooden handle though is that if you go fishing and drop it in the water it tends to float a while giving you chance to retrieve it and i've done that a few times.

jon0881 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ive ordered two of these today. They sound good. I need to replace my fillet knife in the kitchen and probably but one that i can take outdoors. Can anyone reccomend one? My pal has a PENN one for fishing which is cool but i need one for the kitchen too. I dont want to spend a fortune too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Get the size 6, blade's less than 3" so you won't get done . If you need it for any reason then you "Won`t get done." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon0881 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Get the size 6, blade's less than 3" so you won't get done . I will only use them when im carring a shotgun or a firarm so i think they would be more interested in that.......says the man on his way to jail.
