- First, Apologies for still using Windows Movie Maker !!!! I will look for better software.
I know its not perfect... But... Hope you enjoy the video and perhaps have a go at trying this. This is my first attempt at modifying (pimping) an Opinel knife. I am living in a place with no workshop access at the moment so trying new things. I got the Celtic pattern idea and method from David Nicholls channel and he explains how to make these patterns brilliantly. Find him here... / @davidnicholls100
It's the first time I have tried carving wood at all and then using the wood dye.

I am going to do more carving as it is as satisfying as it is frustrating. I will make a leather sheath for this knife at some point probably also with a Celtic pattern. Thanks for stopping by, this isn't a commercial channel.
Very well done, best handle mod I've seen for opinel.
Wow thanks for that.
fabuleux effectivement ..... paroile de Normand !!!!!!!! Mode Love !!!!!!
As an Irishman I find this naturally appealing. An intricate design I am sure those scholarly monks of yonder would be proud of!
Well done sir! Only thing I would do is rub on a few coats of boiled linseed oil. It will waterproof and smooth out the surface of the knife handle.
That is a sound idea. I will do that.
Wow. Looks amazing. Gonna order the tools from amazon and give it a try. Thanks for showing us.
Well pimped! First attempt, and turned it into a special looking little knife, awesome.
Hand carved, another one with the patience of a saint
You got this, friend. Totally nailed it. Hat's off, respect!
Well done! It certainly adds class to an otherwise plain Jane knife.
beautiful carvings,i love celtic stuff
Beautiful work and excellent idea! Compliments!
So cool, so perfect!!! That is what i call "handmade"!!! Love this handle!
Ra De cheers. Appreciate the comment.
Perfect nice work
Lovely, thanks for sharing . Really made a nice little piece of art there :-)
Nice wood to work beach, very forgiving.. Worked with it for many years. In furniture construction it's used with English oak for cost purposes.. as well as edging for sheet material work
Brilliant, I know how hard those handles are, I slightly modified my ancient Opinel handle to make it fit the worn blade better, I may have a go at this on my walking stick. I was going to carve a 'Greenman' but I like this a lot.
rhialobran thanks for stopping by mate. I was going to do my walking stick too after that but I think it is made of iron wood so I have ordered a Mora carving knife. If you haven’t seen him, check out stinnett sticks. The guy is a genius true artist in carving walking sticks.
First attempt? Brillant, you will go far. *GREAT JOB*
Frederique Zug thank you for your positive feedback. It was honestly the first time. Cheers. 👍

Great video.Thanks a lot !!!
Teak oil finish would make it look even better
Damn. That's very nice! Been thinking of doing some Opinel mods, just looking for ideas. My problem is, I draw lousy. I can carve once I have the pattern, but drawing it out is the part I suck at, lol.
My pattern was crap to start off with but it straightens out as you draw the cross lines in. Follow the link in the description to David Nichols explanation of how to draw it. He is a great teacher. Glad you liked it and thanks.
@@huntersmoon9724 Thank you so much. I obviously didn't look. His channel is awesome, and has just flooded my mind with ideas. Now I want to try a chip carving of a celtic cross, lol. I'm just starting in wood carving. I've done a dozen or so various wooden spoons, some semi fancy yet simple design love spoons. Time to step up the game to the next lcvel. I love the celtic designs.
@@huntersmoon9724 btw..another Opinel idea I may try..the carbone model so I can do a patterned patina. Look at an opinel handle from the side..see a fish? The swell on the end is the tail..draw scales starting at the collar, at the tail, lines radiating out to make it look more like a tail..maybe even a v notch to make it look even more like a tail..then on the blade, take mustard and thin it with lemon juice..use a toothpick dipped in it to draw a fish head on the bottom 1/4 of the blade, then round bubbles in front of it..let it sit for 20-30 mins, then rinse..there's your fish with bubbles in the water. For the handle scales, I may wood burn them in instead of carving, but either way it should look cool, and quite unique. If you burn them, they will already be dark when you stain them. So many ideas :"swimming" in my head, lol. Now the problem is deciding which one to try first!
J'adore j'aimerais apprendre à faire des Opinels celtics
votre travail est incroyable. j'aimerais posséder votre couteau avec le crâne.
Everyone should visit this guys channel.
Je vais faire une vidéo sur la sculpture d'un Opinel crane
Класс!👍
A couple of questions as I am new to carving,
1) @ 5:54 what is that grey block you are using on the stained handle?
2) I watched a video you linked to in the description for making a Celtic knot pattern and he draws squares first to reference where to place the holes. It looks like you skipped that step and just drew the holes freehand?
3) I'm considering doing this for my everyday carry, does the engravings cut into the hand or feel uncomfortable with use?
Hi. The block is just a sanding block that can be bought at general Hardwear stores or online in different grades of course. They are sometimes called sanding sponges, search at Amazon. I skipped the squares as I practiced the drawing quite a bit first and the handle feels good in your hand and offers more grip than the smooth original. Give it a go and I hope you enjoy making one. Cheers.
@@huntersmoon9724 Thanks for the info. I am considering not going with a wood stain but rather doing some accent work with a woodburning tool and then staining with Linseed oil. Although I;m not sure if the carbon from burning might affect the wood's absorption of the linseed oil. Also considering finishing it off with a patina on the blade but for an everyday carry I'm not sure how well a patina would hold up with use.
