Opinel Pocket Knives by Opinel

I give this company 10 out of 10 acorns.

Opinel makes knives. The price is low but the quality is high. The knife comes in. the three times I have purchased a knife at least, razor sharp right out of the box. The blade locking mechanism is simple but effective. You can get a variety of different sized knives usually in either stainless steel or carbon steel depending on your needs. I use my folding knives in a variety of tasks throughout my day. I have one for work(carbon steel), I have one for gardening/outdoor tasks (stainless), and I have one in the house (carbon steel). The No. 8 is your average regular sized pocket knife for everyday tasks. I would also encourage any foragers out there to take a look at their mushroom knife as it seems to be a handy little knife. I really couldn't come up with any reason to ding any acorns with the products that they provide.

I highly recommend spending the money and trying it out. It is a reliable tool to have on hand.

I second that emotion

Been happy with mine for a long time.  I derive a singular fascination while paring apples and pears while holding the comfortable pear wood handle...

My all time favourite knife.
The Opinel is my favourite kitchen knife for cutting onions, garlic and cleaning the ends off from root vegetables.
It's my go-to for any outside-the-kitchen-jobs requiring a safe (!), sharp, strong knife.
I'd give the Opinels (comes in a variety of sizes) indeed 10 out of 10 acorns.

In comparison: in Finland we have the traditional Finnish knife, puukko. It's the knife for 'everything', just as the Opinel.
Big differences are:
Opinel has a thinner blade than the puukko, making it more suitable for slicing onions etc.
Opinel folds inside its own handle (puukko goes into a leather sheath), so it fits in the pocket whereas a puukko has to dangle on the belt or live in a basket if you're outdoors.
Opinel tends to stay sharp for a longer time.
I feel like a traitor, being Finnish... but the French Opinel wins!
