Review: Simple, Elegant, and Razor Sharp - I am very impressed with the quality of this knife. It’s incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for everyday carry. The stainless steel (Inox) blade is razor-sharp out of the box and very easy to maintain. I especially like the Virobloc safety ring, which feels very secure. For the price, you simply can't find a better combination of tradition and functionality. Highly recommended!
Review: Very classy knife. - I've wanted an Opinel for a number of years, not sure why I never jumped on getting one before, it just didn't happen. But this past prime day I found one for a few bucks off its already reasonably low price and went ahead and got myself a No. 8. Its a wonderfully sized knife, it fits the hand well and isn't too big to reasonably slip in a pocket or so small it is hard to hold onto. I love the rotating ring locking mechanism. It is so simple, but effective. The blade is mounted in the handle at a bit of a downward angle in such a way where if you wanted to use the flat part of the blade for slicing it may not work too well, that being said, the downward angle makes using the curved portion of the blade and the tip easier. The blade itself appears to be a high quality stainless steel. I have no doubt it will hold an edge well. As far as blade sharpness out of the box, I would consider it "working sharp". Its sharp enough, it will do what you need it to do, cut rope, open packages, etc. But it is definitely not razer sharp. Now for some people this may sound like a bad thing, many people want a razer sharp knife. The problem with sharpening a blade to that level of sharpness is it will dull faster than one sharpened differently. I think this is sharpened specifically to be a working blade. I'm going to use it for awhile without taking out my sharpening stones and see how it holds up. I suspect it will hold up wonderfully.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Second Opinel
*by C***N on February 21, 2026*

I love the design of the handle and the blade. It comes razor sharp out of the package. I like the stainless steel for the rust resistance, but I will buy a carbon steel one just to try it out. For the price its unbeatably. I used butcher block oil on the end to help with water resistance. I like being able to lock the knife open or closed. I did drill a hole in the handle for a lanyard. I will be buying more Opinel knives.
