Opinel knives are on the market since the 1890s - a truly classic design that was so to the point that it's still very popular to this day. Here we have a look at various different models and their characteristics. Note that the end of this clip is edited a bit brutally, but I had to trim it to make it fit the Youtube length limitations, hence I had to dispense with my usual summary.
Video that shows how to disassemble your Opinel's locking ring without damaging or bending any of the parts. Useful if you want to clean or modify your knife! The only tools needed are a small sturdy prying tool to remove the locking ring and a pin/filed nail to hammer out the pivot pin (not shown in this video).

This particular model of Opinel, the slimline, has a long thin stainless steel blade and a bubinga wood handle. I find it perfect for filleting fish. A great blade to take on a fishing holiday, but it is an evil looking thing so be sure to pack it in your hold luggage, not your pocket! In Britain, the state has effectively criminalised the carrying of knives in public places. this is because some people stab each other. Of course, they ignore the law while honest citizens like me who often have a sharp penknife in their pockets now live in fear of both criminals AND police.

The venerable French brand Opinel is mainly popular for their affordable and functional folders. From time to time they also offer limited versions with special handle materials and usually with polished blades as well. Here we have a look at two limited editions: the "Old School", and one in ebony. FYI My other video on Opinels shows more different models and gives more background history.

This new Opinel No. 8 folder (stainless steel/oak wood) was fitted with an aluminium lanyard insert, and its original fishtail handle tip was sanded down to a more ergonomic shape. Factory varnish was scraped off and replaced with boiled linseed oil. Note the difference! (See the final version of this mod at ?v=h9pcG1smF7U)

A video about my modified Opinel with the very dark patina in use in the kitchen. As promised I will use only this knife in the kitchen for a week to see how the patina holds. For sharpening and maintenance I will only use a cheap diamond sharpener and some vegetable oil, as I would use in the field.

Scouting out another creek valley for bushcraft resources and outdoor opportunities: turned out to be a top spot! Also a short demo of the Opinel folding knife #9 (carbon steel, about 15 years old, Scandi / flat grind with micro secondary bevel, ca. 10 Euros). I think Opinel is among the folding knives what Mora is among the fixed blades: low price but high quality plus top functionality. The Opinel handle (beech wood) is very ergonomic and also allows for a kind of leuku chopping grip.

Here is the second knife i got from my dearest father last x-mas. Its goold old opinel #8. french folder "legend". As far as i know, these knives arent as nearly well know here in states as they are back in Europe but trust me guys, these knives were famous big time long before even McGivers swiss army knife got popular. High carbon steel, handle from one piece of wood and very solid locking mechanism and also very affordable price made this knife one of the best outdoor folders in europe for ages for a good reason.

Got a few questions about how i put a patina on carbon steel blades. Thought I just answer that and show an Opinel modification at the same time.

This is my review of the Opinel model number 6. Model numbers range between 2 and 12, with the exception of number 11. The size of the blade increases with the model number. Whilst being very cheap and having a strong positive following I do not care for them. Some people are big Opinel fans, but I don't particularly know why. They are however cheap, small and very sharp. They stay that way too, thanks to a carbon steel blade that is flat ground, and their reputation for good heat treatment. I made a small mistake showing this model number in my UK knife law video, becuase of the feature of the virobloc ring that allows the otherwise slip-joint knife to lock in the open or closed position, despite taking a long time after initial deployment to do so. However, model numbers 5 and below are entirely legal UK EDC. Despite the fact that you may not like the look or specs of Opinels and that I don't personally like them, I would recommend you buy one at some point. They are very cheap; this one cost about £8 from www.heinnie.com but are available in lots of different places due to their popularity and reputation. Even if you don't like your Opinel, I think it's one knife you have to own (even if it is hideous and flimsy feeling).

I did not invent this process of forcing a patina onto carbon steel. That credit goes to Pillnitz from www.knives.pl. A link to the instructions can be found here, but it's in Polish: www.knives.pl

Good spot to buy Opinels is Opiknife.com. They have all of them and offer engraving. No jimping anywhere, but tight lock up. Side to side and up and down. Would not recommend for any type of tactical use. Stainless steel blade means it will stain less. Oak handle. AllStar slicer. Be careful closing the knife because it doesn't have a blade stop and you could dull your blade. Replaced Byrd Finch as back up carry. Be careful with the oak handle, could be damaged with chemicals or water. cooler than scissors. blade is centered.
