team tractor Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Just got back from Go Outdoors and the girlfriend has treated me to a new knife . I've wanted a good knife for a while as I'm bored of cheap blades and bulky handles so I'm now the new owner of one of these http://ultimatesurvivaltips.com/ Dam linky :( It's the bear grylls paracord handle knife http://static5.uttings.info/images/products/gerber/bear-grylls-par_DF59F2EC_large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123*armour Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I find opinel knives work for me, they are cheap so if you lose it not the end of the world, and they hold a sharp edge for a long time, I'm using the same one i got over a year ago and only sharpened it once or twice since.

I've had a few but you buy cheap and get cheap metal. I've got one in the van door but it's all grubby and blunt easily really compared to others I've had but it guess the problem with them is they go to sharp so loose the edge quick due to the angle. The other problem with opinel is the wooden handle when wet can swell the blade stuck😆 I wanted a fixed blade as their stronger plus once I remove the cord it's a metal handle which won't get grubby Oh and I must of had my opinel over 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
