Opinel Craftsman Kit

Perfection

Great knife! mostly use it for a picnic knife

No9, stainless, premium wood. the way to go !

Few things : Raised with No9 carbon blade I was very reluctant to buy my first stainless steel blade. I did ! from there I will buy only stainless steel blade from Opinel. It is an huge improvement. Next, buy the premium wood definitely worth the extra bucks. Last but Not the Least. I am so glad Opinel finally released the No9 size in stainless and premium wood ! its the most versatile and useful size. No8 is too small ! No9 is the way to go !! Opinel is a resume of the french quality and touch. I would ad you can go wrong with an Opinel ! its worth every bucks you spend on it !

Really sharp and nicely made knife

Suprisingly good

Hello to all who read this. (Concerning the NO. 9) This knife is a very comfortable knife to hold & use. Its on the big side, but not too big. For my large & lanky hands this knife is perfect. If your hands are smaller than average, i'd suggest you start with the no. 8 model. If your hands are large, this no. 9 model is perfect. Very good quality & very slicey. I easily put a lanyard hole in the base of mine. My one critique is that i would like to see a thicker blade stock. This is very good & all, i'd just like a thicker blade personally. But thats me. The blade stock is more than thick enough to be sturdy & strong. I'm just into thicker blades as an individual. All in all, 10 out 10 all around. Well done opinel. May your family continue to keep these classics in production for ages to come. I'll definitely buy from you again.
