I think this is an excellent version of Opinel, especially since the handle doesn't swell like the beech one. In the kitchen, it cuts perfectly, of course, only the small things, not bones, but I'm satisfied and recommend it.

Very long and very slim. The wooden handle seems to dominate the blade. A very practical model, not small but light. The blade geometry makes it a handy scalpel. The blade is a bit too thin for my taste, but that was probably the designer's intention. It cuts very well and precisely. You won't cut down trees with it, but you can do everything else very well. The only downside – the locking ring is a bit tight to move. I recommend it, especially if you haven't held one yet and are wondering. After modifying the handle – profiling and color – it looks very impressive.

My first Opinel knife and definitely not the last. Very nice and sharp

Beauty lies in simplicity, everything fits perfectly, the knife is sharp and simply beautiful, the next one will be Carbon no.8

The knife is great. Extremely sharp and very handy. Unfortunately, this sharpness is also its downside - I have already cut myself several times just by touching both the blade and its tip. Without any special pressure. Its downside is the blade locking system by twisting the ring. The ring has a completely smooth surface, is very tightly fitted, and I have very dry skin on my fingers. In summary - it's only convenient for me to turn the ring while wearing gloves. So the knife will go into the display case.

Super! I recommend this version of Opinel. It's not as sharp as the carbon versions but, on the other hand, it isn't susceptible to corrosion :)

Good and sharp knife

When we hear the name Opinel, it's obvious it will be sharp, and that's the case here: solid, sharp, ideal for slicing food, I recommend it.

Very nice little knife. Useful for preparing meals and small tasks. It looks stylish.

I bought it mainly for use with food while camping, sailing, and fishing. Sharp and light. The blade is long, so you can cut bread, and its shape allows you to use its entire length. For heavier tasks, I recommend an Opinel with a classic blade.

I've never been disappointed with this brand. The knife fits perfectly in the hand, making work very pleasant and precise. Its sharpness and the steel's low susceptibility to different types of corrosion are big advantages. It's great for EDC, camping, or different household models—for this price, I won't find better quality. I recommend it to everyone.

Very good knife, exceptionally sharp. I recommend it.

Like every Opinel. Quality at a good price.

Great quality for an acceptable price. I sincerely recommend it.
