I’ll start by saying that I am a knife collector, but not of fancy, super-expensive knives that simply sit around and are never used so they maintain their appearance and “value.” A valuable knife is one that is usable and high quality. Every knife I have is used, although some are used far more than others because of how good they are. I purchased this No. 10 Opinel carbon steel knife with certain expectations, and almost all of them were met. I gave this knife a 5-star rating because it is an excellent quality knife blade that will see quite a lot of use from me, but not **heavy duty** use some of my other knives are used for. First, some design facts about this blade: --The wood handle is comfortable, but is one of the points that make this a **moderate duty** knife. I will not be applying a lot of force on this handle. --The ring supporting the blade is right at 3/32”. There is no side-to-side play in the blade, so the ring seems to support the blade very well. With the locking ring (which is much thinner) is closed, that extra support gives the knife an even more solid feel. --The knife blade is made from xc90 carbon steel, which is pretty comparable to 1086 steel. That means it will wear a little easier some other common carbon steels like 1095, but are very easy to sharpen/maintain. More on sharpness and sharpening later. --The blade is 1/8” thick on the spine before the clip of the blade. The blade grind is NOT FLAT, but a slight convex grind (think magnifying glass lens shape). That’s actually just fine with me, because that helps add supporting strength to the edge and take away some of the edge-retention disadvantage the xc90 steel has. Still pretty thin, though. --The locking ring, while manually-operated, allows you to lock the blade in both the open and the closed position. Its design looks and feels very secure. --This is a CARBON steel, not STAINLESS. You’ll have to keep it dry, maintain it, or it’ll be rusty trash. If that’s not your thing, get the stainless version. 12C27 Sandvik is a good comparable quality steel. So, now the pros and cons: Pros: --The fit of everything on this knife is tight. While I don’t know if it will loosen over time, there is resistance when you open and close the blade, which is nice. --Once properly sharpened (more about this later), this blade is hair-whittling sharp...for those that don’t understand the significance, that is far beyond hair-shaving sharp. Far beyond. I barely touched the edge after putting a proper edge on this knife and cut a couple layers of skin. Feather-touched. Didn’t even feel it; noticed it when I touched my thumb with my finger. ----This level of sharpness is what makes this knife really usable. With its sharpness and convex grind going all the way to the edge, it’ll slice through things easily...which will help with retaining that edge longer. Cutting into wood for detail carving or for whittling...will probably be like cutting warm butter. --The xc90 may not retain edges as well as higher carbon steels, but it’s tough. Unless you abuse it on purpose or for things knives AREN’T designed for (like as a screwdriver or pry bar) --The COST. For the quality of this blade, and its tight fit and finish, it is a tremendous value. The Cons are not enough to detract from my rating. Cons: --The factory edge sucks. Saw someone comment here it didn’t feel sharp but still cut a tomato with ease...that’s because whatever sharpening method they use leaves a bur...which means you literally SAWED through that tomato. Also, the edge was ALMOST one-sided like a chisel. I had to reshape the edge bevel. Once I did, though, and properly sharpened it and stropped it, I can almost let it sink through a tomato with its own weight. Annoying I had to do that. Morakniv I’ve ever only had to strop to refine...their factory edges are better than anyone else. --The blade thickness and handle keep this from being a heavy duty knife. That’s actually OK, as with this being a pocket folder I’m not going to be carrying it while needing to do something heavy.

I collect knives and I saw this on a list of “10 knives every collector should own” and at this price, I didn’t need to think about it too much. What an awesome knife. It not only locks open, it locks closed as well…such a cool design feature. I don’t know that I’ll use this knife a lot but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be a useful knife. The shape of the handle rules it out as an EDC for me but it will be stored with my collection and brought out and admired often. It would be a good knife to keep in a drawer in the den or kitchen, to use to open letters and boxes. The only negative for me was the burr on the blade. I took a fine diamond file to it and it’s fine now but be careful, it’s very jagged out of the package.

I absolutely love this knife. I typically carry a bigger, tougher knife, but sometimes I grab this one just because it’s so light and comfortable to use. The roundness and straightness of the handle means you can reverse and draw cut easily. The blade came very sharp, and has held up for any task for which I use a blade this size. I cannot believe how tough the blade is for the price.

I already own a No 8 (bought in Estes Park like forty five years ago) so I bought the garden model, then the filet version, then pairing knives, breakfast knife, a No 2 and a No 4.....figured I needed a big one too. Love these knives; sharp, sturdy, and inexpensive with a classic look.

I have a bunch of Opinel. I love the incredibly simple and secure design. I always get the carbon steel when I can and don't mind the normal darkening with use at all. The Achilles Heel on an Opinel is the interface of the steel blade with the wood of the handle. This expands with moistue and you have to learn to open the blade by rapping the rear-end on a hard surface, which will dislodge the blade enough for you to grab it and open it. The metal-wood interface also means that when open, the knife will get floppy after continued use, but since they are ridiculously inexpensive, who could complain about that? Personally, I think the Opinel is one of the most remarkable knife designs ever, and a bargain at the current prices.

I’ve had this knife for 5 years and it still works good. Easy to sharpen and fits nicely in your pocket. The locking cap on it is pretty cool as well

This knife is unbeatable for the price for whittling. It's a nice, thin blade with a decent handle for $15, and it has been known to outperform my expensive whittling knife. Out of the box the knife left room for improvement, but after some edgework and honing this knife has become an incredibly comfortable and reliable option. It's not fancy by any means, but it gets the job done very well for the price. My one complaint is with the locking ring sometimes slipping causing the blade to jostle, but it has never been to the extent of harming me. Solid knife

Everyone should own one. I like the worry free of the stainless version more, but the carbon steel is nice quality and stays sharp as hell. just don't leave it wet because it'll rust.
