A wonderful and classic knife. Robust, well-designed, with a fantastic carbon steel blade that can be honed to a razor's edge. My favourite knife.

A very good knife indeed for the money. The carbon steel should not be left wet for long but it keeps an edge longer than the stainless option and is easier to sharpen. The knife is sturdy and well made and extremely useful for around the house, woodsmanship and crafts. I would thoroughly recommend it though be aware that you cannot carry these locking knives around with you in public in the UK.

A very hand little knife useful for all sorts of jobs. Holds its edge very well and the blade locks into place avoiding potential mishaps. I keep one in the toolbox and the other with my fishing tackle.

Good to look at and great to use. Carbon steel very sharp but does corrode quickly, easily cleaned though. Very pleased.

The classic Opinel. Carbon steel, so is easily sharpened. A great size for a pocket knife. Great.

Read a lot about this knife before I bought it and am not disappointed. The design is simple but beautiful and it sits nicely in hand. Light enough in a pocket too. Very quick delivery, great price

First class pocket knife. I carry it all the time I am walking and pick up a stick and whittle. The blade after several attempts will shave my arm easily. Well made and worth the money. Good quality blade, keeps a good edge. I put a drop of WD on the hinge just to keep it from sticking. Ideal knife. You will not be disappointed, it grows on you. five star

Purchased this and the No 6 for grafting. I was looking for a comfortable and incredibly sharp couple knives for grafting apple trees. I chose the carbon steel variety as it is my experience with knives that a better edge is generally achievable with CS as compared to SS. Too early to start grafting yet, but practice on typical material has proven the knives to be just as hoped / expected. They are also very comfortable in the hand and have a safety locking collar. Excellent so far.

I prefer the carbon steel as it takes a better edge
