Opinel Carbon Steel Non-Locking No.2 Folding Knife 18

It's a little good sharp in fact sharp compared to some of the larger one I have just bought at the same time.

First class knife

Perfect little knife for small jobs , very sharp

Great service from Heinnie Haynes, fast delivery. Lovely little knife, ideal for my camping trips. I don’t need a Rambo knife, just something cut food or whittle an improvised peg. I haven’t tested it yet, but it looks well made and good quality for the price.

Perfection in proportion

Exceptional good value, best in their class. Can be sharpened much better than stainless steel. If you want to carry in your pocket ensure they are the 'locking' version. Heinnie highest customer service.

This little UK legal carry beauty sharpens up VERY well. Yes, it`s not a stainless blade but thats not a problem, just give it some respect + keep the lightest smear of oil on it [ WD or even veg will do the job, but Olive may stink after a while!] This is, as all Opinels, a lightly constucted knife compared to metal framed folders from Germany/UK - HOWEVER, this is not always a bad thing. very good for regular light use for cutting, opening etc, but not at all intimidating due to its size and very trad constuction - everyone`s grandad had something very similar in their pocket when I was a kid. Blade is quite thin, so bear this in mind if you`re daft enough to try lever open a box or tin!! All in all an excellent + useful wee knife to have at hand, and all Opinels are priced very well too - whats not to like?! In fact, I liked it so much I bought another small Opinel for my other half...

I have one other Opinel and it came VERY sharp out of the box. This one arrived excessively covered in oil (carbon steel) and the edge was quite "eccentric". It was sharp in some places and burred in others. As I said, not what I'd expect from an Opinel but it won't take too much effort to get it sorted out and the price was pretty decent.

I ordered the 6cm version. It's incredibly light! The blade is very thin, almost delicate-feeling. But watching a youtube review by Vinniesdayoff, I know that this knife is extremely capable. I prefer a thinner blade. It cuts far better. The construction is simple, no bells and whistles, little could go wrong! The blade arrived with a significant burr on one side (hence 4 stars). Nothing a few passes on a whetstone and strop couldn't fix. Once that was done, it easily shaves the hair on my arm. I don't forsee myself using this for much heavy duty cutting, it's just a nice thing to have in a backpack. Due to the design and the size of the handle, you might find your fingers get quite close to the heel of the blade. For the price, there's really nothing to complain about.
