    • Old-fashioned design is more than compensated for by an excellent blade!
Style: No. 7
Obviously some people (myself included) love this knife party for its old-fashioned design. But let's face it: These knives would never be as popular as they are if it weren't for the price. Modern features, such as automatic blade locking, blades that open with a positive "snap," etc., make this knife's design seem decidedly outdated in comparison. However, those modern added features come at a cost. If you're after a quality, VERY sharp blade for low cost, this is simply the best deal you'll get (or at least the best I could find). Here's what I love about the knife: * The blade is extremely sharp. It wouldn't shave hair off my arm like my Mora Companion did out of the box, but somehow it actually seems sharper when it comes to actually cutting. It sliced a tomato with just the slightest (less than a 1/16th of an inch) sawing motion to cut the skin. Pruning small branches is like cutting butter. It sharpened a stick with unbelievable ease and smoothness. The blade feels and acts thinner than it actually is (meaning it is stronger than it looks), probably because the entire width of the blade is beveled at apparently the same angle, from the spine right down to the edge. * The whole knife is very lightweight and sleek in the pocket. I don't even know it's there. * The locking mechanism works better and easier than I expected from the photos. It locks the blade both open and closed, and although it has to be done manually, it's easy to twist the collar. It holds the blade open or closed plenty effectively for anything such a knife ought to be used for. * The look and feel is cool. The wood handle has a nice feel and is comfortable to use. The blade is nicely machined and looks well-finished. * Did I mention it's SHARP? With all that said, there are some things I find less appealing: * The all-wood handle makes me hesitant to use the knife for some tougher things that I assume the blade could handle. Maybe it's just me, but I don't have enough confidence in how the blade attaches to the handle to use it for mcuh more than "normal" slicing tasks. * The blade has absolutely no "snap" to it when opening or closing - not even equivalent to an old penknife. It's just a blade on a swivel, and therefore lacks any tactile positivity when opening or closing the knife. * Although the locking mechanism surprised me at its effectiveness, it's only effective if you remember to do it. Although it will doubtlessly become habit with time, I still prefer an automatic lock. It should go without saying that those nitpicks completely disappear when one considers the cost of this knife. Sure, I could (and hopefully someday will) get a $45 Buck pocketknife that will have the modern features I like with a quality blade. But until then, I'm confident that this knife will excel at anything a non-tactical pocketknife should ever be asked to do. Bottom line: If you're after a sharp, quality blade on a budget, this is your buy. ... show more

    • Sharp, light, and cheap
Style: No. 8
Review Image by Brandon Brandon
Review Image by Brandon Brandon
I got the carbon steel because I wanted to practice a forced patina and this is a cheap knife. Turns out I kind of love it and carry it almost daily. It's so light that you forget it's even in your pocket. The twist lock is original and very reliable. I did have to pop the lock off and loosen up a tad because it was way too hard to open and close. (Easiest way to do so is with a bottle opener, trust me) If you want a forced patina like mine I used mustard for 10-20 seconds, wiped it off, dabbed mustard again in various spots with a cotton swab and let it sit for another 30 seconds. Vinegar based BBQ sauce works too. Only downside is if it gets wet it can be really hard to open. But that opinel tap can be satisfying. ... show more

    • A great piece of utility.
Style: No. 8
This is a beautiful knife with heritage to boot. The carbon blade takes a little extra care but the edge is amazing. Easy to sharpen too. In my youth I always remember seeing one like this in many a tackle box. A great piece of utility.

    • 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

    • Great knife. #12 is a beast

This thing (size 12) is a beast of a knife. Super sharp. Understand it’s rough cut so it feels “old style” out of the box (envelope). The wood is lighter than I expected but still sturdy. Since the handle is just wood with no metal full length, durability is less than a buck knife and such. The price point makes this fine. I decided to make a couple modifications. 1) Ground down and polished the spine of the blade to smooth it out. When the knife is closed, there’s a sharp edge on one side of the spine. Not dangerous but not smooth either. 2) Forced a dark patina by wrapping the blade in a vinegar soaked paper towel for 3 hours (after degreasing with simple green and isopropyl alcohol). 3) Cleaned with simple green and coated with food grade mineral oil that soaked in for an hour before wiping clean . I’m thinking I may eventually oil the handle to add to the vintage look and feel. Overall I’m very satisfied. ... show more
