Pros
- At this point i like the locking innovation on different knife designs..my favorite being the twist style on Opinels.
- Obligatory Opinel Upvote, but it needs a few years of apple cutting patina to archive true grampmaxxing.
- My 20 dollar opinel is just as capable, if not more than, for 99% of the reasons you use an edc knife than your 250 dollar benchmade
- Also upgraded the SOG Key Knife to the Opinel
- I carry a second knife for food. I use an opinel for cutting apples or whatever.
Cons
- Parent context: I think I’m doing something wrong, my Opinel makes my apples taste like metal… Reply: Yeah, for some reason the stainless steel apples always have some kind of metallic after taste
- I’ve use hand saws before but not the Opinel.

My grandparents’ opinel are like 15 or 20 y.o. and still work really well. These are actual quality knives, especially for the price.
