    • Affordable? Yes! : Cheap? Absolutely not! : High Quality? Just look at how many stars I gave it!
Style: No. 8
I adore this pocket knife! I had heard a lot of good things about Opinel for some years past, and I finally decided to get one, and I am so bloody glad that I did! It's just the right size for pocket carry, it's of a size that is big enough to be useful but so large as to look aggressive or antagonistic, it's beautiful in it's simplicity, and despite the fact it's light as a feather, it does not feel cheap or flimsy! It's wood and metal, but it's lighter than some most poor quality plastic-furniture knives I've handled in the past! This company's reputation, is well deserved indeed! This can appeal to anybody who wants a pocket knife and can fit any EDC loadout, from labourer to aristocrat, and everyone in between. ... show more

    • Normal opinel, just scaled up and kinda silly
Style: No. 12
Huge and goofy as far as pocket knives go (which I love). It's like if Crocodile Dundee had an opinel instead of a bowie knife. I'm thinking it'll make a nice little chef's knife, and if not at least I have a nice knife to open small boxes and envelopes. Goofs aside, The wood handle is nice, I sanded mine down and rubbed some oil on it which makes it even nicer than the varnish on the carbon ones. They still come with nice handles regardless of finish imo. (They take pocket clips nicely) The blade finish is nice and pretty uniform across all the ones I have. Which I'd say is impressive for them being so inexpensive. I like the shape of the blade a lot, nice to see peeps do a non drop point life like the hundreds I see around. They also come pretty sharp. The locking ring is cool and super simple to use. It's easy to pop off as well if you want to mess with the knife. I have not been able to get the lock to fail with it engaged all the way so I'd say it's pretty secure. Overall I'd say this is a nice knife if you want something simple and cheap but still want nice stuff like wood handles, a good lock, and a blade that's sharper than average out of the box. ... show more

    • one of the best knives in history
Style: No. 9
These knives are awesome. Not designed to be cool, but to be functional. This design is probably the best general function knife that's ever existed, or ever will. I have many of these, and lost many. They're inexpensive, high quality, easily maintained, I've honed far beyond razor sharp. They're even good for precision whittling, which demands extremely sharp knives. The only downside, if you can even consider it such, is they're not "sexy". Nothing tactical, or high tech. Just amazing design from before anyone was thinking about marketing. The design is well over 100 years old, and still going with very little change. They're even on the list of best engineered products in history, from the queen. Given it's a French knife, and the Queen was English, that's a very big deal. Research prices though. Amazon sellers like to price them WAY above what they're supposed to be. Sometimes triple. Make good choices. ... show more

    • Fantastic pocket knife for the price
Style: No. 8
Bottom line: Is this the worlds best pocket knife? No. But it's unbeatable for the price, in my opinion. The relatively few negative reviews of this knife mostly focus on the blade's tendency to rust. I would point out that this is a carbon steel knife - it absolutely *will* rust if not cared for properly and anyone buying it should expect that. If you want a knife that won't rust, Opinel makes this exact same model in stainless steel, available right here on Amazon for the same price. That said, carbon steel has one big advantage over stainless - a carbon blade can be sharper (if sharpened correctly) and tends to hold an edge better/longer than a stainless blade. Simply oil the blade once in a while, remove any rust promptly, and embrace the inevitable color change in the blade over time (the "patina"), which will help prevent rust. If you aren't willing to do those things, go with stainless steel. For the price, this knife is very well made and functional. The blade is good quality and arrived quite sharp. The beechwood handle is nicely shaped (both ergonomically and aesthetically), and is very lightweight - I can almost forget I have a knife in my pocket. The manually-actuated locking ring can lock the blade both open and closed; the latter is somewhat unique among folding knives but is welcome for me - there is no chance of opening, even partially, in my pocket. This knife does not open and close easily with one hand, but it isn't intended to and that isn't important to me. If it's important to you, look elsewhere. This being my first Opinel knife, I can't comment objectively on longevity; however, from what I see so far it could last a very long time. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Good old school knife
Style: No. 8
I love the simplicity, the design.. and the utility of this knife. I had a #8 years back and it seemed indestructible.. off the top?..this just doesn't... but it might be? ..the carbon blade is very light and scary sharp.. the handle is classic fishtail opinel design, light and seems durable.... my only complaint is the locking ring seems less sturdy..time will tell how it holds up.. ... show more
