I own around 30 knives and this one has earned it's way to the front of the line. Still in the interview process, but this knife is performing at all levels.
This is the only knife I hope to ever need. I try to take decent care of it (got an edge guard and all that) but it holds up really well. It's not flexy and thin, but it's not brittle, either - a really nice compromise. The stock edge needed a little work, but once it was honed it's just kept going. I'm particularly happy with how it pairs with the paring knife - together they basically cover all my cutting bases; but if you only get one Opinel kitchen knife, I would get this one.
My husband loves the knife! I love the presentation of the knife when I received it. I got my knife engraved, and I love the look. Heirloom quality!
