Review: Affordable? Yes! : Cheap? Absolutely not! : High Quality? Just look at how many stars I gave it! - 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.
Review: Normal opinel, just scaled up and kinda silly - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best knives in history
*by S***. on May 10, 2025*

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.
