Loved my Opmiel Number 8 so much I bought one each for both my children (grown) when they came down to visit last week. Passing on the tradition. This knife is perfectly useful for everday needs, and cooking too.
I have several #8’s that I have stashed around the house and in my car but for EDC I carry the #6. It fits well in my pocket and is more than enough knife for daily use.
I carry a nbr 10 in my pocket every day; in and out of the house. Magnificent slicer, food prep, box cutter, cutting tie wraps, carving wood. It does everything!
I have had an 8 and a 6 for about 30 years. In that time I never knew about the the end of the handle! Both now look very tired and watching this has made me think how badly I have treated them so I will be getting the dremel out with the polishing compound 🙂
Got two Opinel No, 8 knives, stainless steel and carbon steel, had the two now since 98, and had a carbon steel No, 8 from 1988 before these two, they'll still be part of my getaway gear another 20 years since I take care of them and mostly strop them on leather/suede instead of grinding them on diamond stones etc
I have just got a No 8 myself after my son gave me a gift card for my 70 th birthday .i already had a No.7 which I love but the missus dosen't like me using it for food prep at home as it has a lovely aged look.(patina I call it.) New one is stainless so should be acceptable.Knife laws here in Australia are much the same but I still use my 6" Mondial sheath knife when out bush camping.
I have a few hunting camping knives. I prefer smaller blades. The opinel no 8 I have has an olivewood handle and personally I think that is the better timber for knife handles. It's dense, tough and water proof. Beech is fine though. I always grab my number 8. It's unobtrusive in my pocket. Does not snag, poke or get in the way like belt knives. You can get a superb edge on it that is well protected when folded away. It's a genius design, really is. I do apply that Japanese oil to it to stop it rusting but carbon steel holds a finer edge than any stainless so I accept that happily.
@@frogmaster83 Absolutely 💯. I have a cudeman folding knife just a bit larger, but three times the price and I don't end up using it as much. I like to pack light. Nothing worse than humping all that extra weight AND a rifle. To much.
Yes, I agree and am in love with the No.6 you gave me 😃 before I was unable to eat 🍏🍅🍐 when escape the house but now - no problem. Also, as so sharp, makes a dinky steak knife. Wonderful size to pop in a pocket or handbag and feels very nice to use, can't beat the feel of a wood handle. On a more country note - it's also robust enough to cut free a sheep stuck in a hedge/fence etc. The design may be very old but there's nothing wrong with that, just proves that classic, timeless design is alive and well and loved!
May I make a request..... I really want to see the knife Robin made used to descale a large fish. That wonderful curve in the blade looks made for that task.
The French term is "coup du savoyard".... But never ever tap it on you palm. The blade is yatagan style (kink up) and will happily make a hole in your hand! BTW the locking ring is easy to remove.
Great channel, nice video, subscribed! 🙂 About the video: There is no doubt for me. An Opinel is completely sufficient for most applications. In addition to the Swiss army knife, Opinel is my preferred knife. At Fixed Knives, Mora is my favorite (unbeatable price). Best regards from Joes Chaos-Werkbank 😊
I thought they were a joke until i bought one and now i have several. I keep one in my pocket all the time....but i live in France now and its quite normal fir french guys to carry an opinel or laguiol. And the police use their common sense, they know the demographics that carry knives with ill intent.
Same here in the UK. If you are going camping or fishing its not a problem. Walking around the town centre might be a different story depending on age.
@@eleveneleven572 Look, I wanted to write to a long answer about safety, legality and availability, but I won't. My question was about how many people around own one or carry it? But from your answer I realised that you never saw that. OK, carry on
Some people talk technicalities and legal definitions of knife laws in the US, but in most places, in real-life practical situations, it's more about the context than legal definitions. If the officer feels that in the context, it's an offensive weapon, then the size, length, or opening mechanism don't really matter, they have discretion.
Got two of the no 8 myself my friend ..brilliant pocket knife cannot fault it for the price and practicality tbh...razor sharp too ..thanks for sharing atb jj
Very professional Fisherman (and Angler) in Europe has one of these knives. Had one for 40 + years myself and if the clownish legislators had ever done a day's work (heaven forbid) utilising a knive then they would understand the value of the blade lock.
The Opinel No.8 indeed is a very good pocket knife, close to perfection. But imo it has 2 flaws: 1. the carbon steel blade is really nice to keep sharp, but even the sap of green hazelnut or oak makes is look very ugly 2. the handle is nice in the hand, but too bulky in the pocket. My choice in single-bladed pocket knifes is the "Sentinel" by Victorinox.
@@frogmaster83 seen relatively, the Sentinel costs (here in Switzerland) about twice as much as the No.8 Opinel, that is much. But seen absolutely, "twice a No.8" is still below 30 bucks, which is a very good prize for a tool that satisfies more or less a lifetime.
As a side note....I think anything 6 or below doesn't have a lock ring. Also the lock closed feature is something that was introduced sometime around 2000, I've an older one without the lock closed.
Now that did make me laugh. Yes we can own anything we like, just restricted on what we can carry in public. In the city's its a problem but out in the country, nobody bothers about the rules. Regards JB.
@@frogmaster83 you can remove the outer ring with a circlip plier to clean it and you can put some vegetable oil to prevent the wood from swelling (don't use mineral oil if you use it for food prep).

For something more "all purpose" it's really hard to be a Swiss Army knife. I find myself using the scissors a lot, especially when fishing.

How does this do compared to another classic, the Mercator?
Never used one, but I believe its twice the price of the Opinel.
