ONION DAMASCUS OPINEL KNIFE.

Bought a No-10 a good while ago, wasn't happy with the wooden handle that's bog standard, so I fitted a Antler Handle.

It turned out quite well, a better fit than the run of the mill Opinel, a better grip, & a bonus it turned the knife heavy which is what I prefer.

So, bored the other day I decided on another modification to characterized it by heightened the look to the eye, always a fan of Damascus patterns I set to & was pleased with the outcome.

There you go D.

I use a pair of cir-clip pliers, the outside cover is spring steel..... insert as in photo 1......squeeze the pliers & you'll see the clip open up.

Just open it enough to slide it off......putting it back together is obviously the reverse.

Pull the pin out & the blade will slide out.

So now we could change the blade? maybe one of the brilliant knife-smiths on here will make one. Unfortunately would be a bit like triggers broom then I suppose?☺️

Seriously though, a great looking Opinel conversion and more knowledge spread through PW
