So, the Opinel line is incredibly popular around the world, with knives sold in the millions. I own two #8s now, one in the carbone (carbon steel) and this one in INOX (stainless steel). The shape of the blade is nice for garden work, and I use it with cutting stems and fruit. The blade resists rust, which my carbone does not. So far, the edge remains sharp and takes a good sharpening. I very much like Opinel knives for their simplicity, their steel quality, and their unique locking system. Recommend highly.

Opinel makes good, GOOD pocket knives & this one... well, it's okay. Seriously sharp, light in the hand. Reason I gave it 3 instead of the 5 I gave my other two Opinels is that the blade is much looser in the handle than they are. Not wobbly or poorly pinned, just so little friction at the pivot point that you can 'sling' it open. Not necessarily a bad thing, but the collar on this one is very loose & rotates pretty freely. Given that this collar is the only thing keeping that scary-sharp, loose-swinging blade from closing on my fingers, I took off two stars. Gonna see if I can pop off the collar, squeeze it really good with some pliers & re-attach it.

Let me start by saying that I was very impressed with the quality of this specific Opinel knife. I have 4 others in varying sizes and steel type. I am impressed by all of them but this one takes the cake. Smooth opening, smooth lock, and the shape and size are fantastic. Its an 08 but when folded is closer to the 07 in size. Needless to say very pocket friendly. I wish it came in carbon steel but still very satisfied. I wont be using it as a heavy duty knife but to cut boxes open, small vines, and for food prep it performs without any issue. Good buy.

This knife has the same blade as a standard Opinel but, with a better shaped handle. The curved handle shape is easy to hold and comfortable in use which makes it better than the standard Opinel handle.

This knife is not typical of Opinel but it was sent to me by someone who did not care. The blade had a huge burr on one side that had to be polished off before the edge would cut anything. The locking ring is so loose it represents a safety hazard. I will have to adjust it. The polish on the SS blade is very poor compared to past experience. Opinel quality is suffering so beware and be ready to remediate blatant sins.
