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: AMAZING KNIFE - This is possibly the best pocket knife ive ever bought. The blade is well made and holds a edge quite well. Its VERY sharp, so much so you have to be careful cutting things with it. The handle is a nice wood and is very ergonomic, soft and comfortable to hold. It fits well in the pocket of pants that I forget its even in my pocket. The locking mechanism is tight and secures the blade well, always remember to activate it. I wish Opinel made holsters for it, however. Its a very elegant pocket knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come in the original Opinel box?**
A: I believe mine was in a original box.  It was like a tube that was folded in on each end.  It was not a presentation, or gift, box.

**Q: For those of you who whittle, do you use it for softwood only, or hardwoods too? Greenwood or cured as well?**
A: I think this knife is best suited to softwood. I have used it on rough cut pine (found while hiking), which was not fully cured and found it to be somewhat dangerous. The main reason I say that is the size and flexibility of the knife.

**Q: are these knives friction folders?**
A: No they are not friction folder. Look up high no kami to see a friction folder

**Q: How would it do for stabbing? Say  a back up for dispatching a hunt, i don't need the blade closing on my fingers, and how is the blade wobble?**
A: Hi Jesse - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - Thank you for your inquiry! I can't answer to the stabbing, however, there is a proprietary locking ring which when engaged locks the blade either open or closed. I hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic pocket knife for the price
*by M***R on January 16, 2024*

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.
