    10/10 EDC knife for the realist
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017*

If you just edc a knife for opening packages and whittling, look no further than a No. 8 in stainless. The reason I say this is because not many people will ever even need to use or know how to use a pocket knife for "self defense" or "survival" purposes. This is the knife for a realist.It's non threatening, has good fit, finish and quality materials, disappears in a pocket, good ergonomics, a thin Sandvik steel blade that takes a mean edge with even a cheap diamond stone or whetstone from Harbor Freight or the dollar store, and the added bonus is that when cutting food, it doesn't impart that "high carbon" taste.If you do, however intend to use it for bushcraft purposes, the main difference between this and the carbone version is that this one doesn't rust, but it can't strike natural flints like the carbone version. It also won't get that pretty patina from normal use or forced patinas. They both are great fire starters if you keep a ferro rod handy though. They can make a mean feather stick or shavings if you are into that.When buying this, you have to have some sharpening system because it comes with a convex grind that's not ideal for edc uses. I put a 20° edge on mine using diamond stones, ceramic rods and a leather belt for stropping. When it starts losing its edge, I just touch it up with either ceramics or my belt again. You don't need to work too hard to get this thing scalpel sharp.In conclusion, when choosing my knife in the morning, I see myself going for this way more than my Spyderco, Kershaw or Gerber (USA made) knives because it's a gentleman's knife that knows how to perform. If you're not firefighter or EMT and just need a good edge for opening mail and cutting apples, look no further than this glorious friction folder. If you're a hunter or fisherman, do yourself a favor and grab one of these and a Morakniv for the harder usage tasks.

    With This Knife, You're a Fresh-Faced Explorer from a Wholesome, Happy Alternate Universe
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017*

Aw, shucks! Do you want to feel like a wholesome 1950s scout? Then buy this great knife! It's lightweight and well-made, and its locking-collar design is really unique. Unlike all the rugged black metal survival-type knives out there, this sweet little knife will restore your faith in humanity. A knife like this exists in a world full of reason and charm -- not an ugly world full of stupidity and doomsday preppers. Buy this knife -- and change the world.

    I like it
  

*by R***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020*

First off, let me start by saying I am not a big Opinel fan, and have been on the edge about whether I wanted to buy one to try or just not bother mainky because I hear people compliment them all the time and how great they are for such a cheap price. I collect pocket knives of all value (except the extreme ones over 200+... I just cannot justify a $200+ pocket knife for any reason) my most expensive knife is either a Spyderco/Benchmade (forgot which costs the most but each are well up past $160) and I barely tske them out to use, but when I do they do not disappoint. My normal EDC knives are that of a spyderco tenacious, a Rat 1 or 2, that cheap $10 usa flag punisher knife from MTech, or a kershaw of some sort. For work I use a victorinox or a civivi elementum as well as my tenacious and RAT models. So to compare Opinel to them... I just didn't think it would be as good.Well, Opinel surprised me by coming out in a nice colorful pattern and after buying my wife a purple Opinel 07, I got the blue 08 to try. By all means do not tske my opinion the wrong way, for its pricepoint this knife is pretty good, especially for someone getting a knife for the first time, it is an awesome entry level knife. The blade is sharp, not very, but enough that I sliced paper and was pleased with stabbing a carboard box a few times rather easily. The color makes me enjoy this knife a little more and the fact that I can do daily activities with this knife should I choose and not be sad if let's say it chipped, broke or got lost, I would say it is definitely work the less than $20 pricetag. However, I am wishing I went with the Opinel 09 or bigger for the extra blade and handle, but it is in no way the fault of the knife. Overall, i really like this knife and plan to use it as a beater knife, knowing I can always get the normal wood handle version for cheaper makes it that much sweeter.If you're looking into a gift, an entry knife or just something unique, give it a try. It may surprise you as it has me.
