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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Frenchie
*by J***C on October 26, 2024*

I own all kinds of knives. Benchmade, Bark River, Spyderco, Kabar, Cold Steel etc in steels ranging from 1095 to magnacut and s90v. Lately I’ve developed a taste for traditional slip joints by Buck, Case, Rough Rider, Old Timer, Marbles. There is something to be said about carrying a knife that millions of Americans have carried for over a century. Before their were knife nerds and knife steel nerds and modern tactical folders with fancy super steels, this is what the working man carried. They are inexpensive, pretty to look at, easy to sharpen and they cut things. The Opinel No. 8 is one of these. Cheap, simple, classic. I deliberately got the most basic version of their most popular knife for this very reason, and it is a beautiful knife, and much like a Buck or Case I can feel the history in the design. That’s not to say it’s perfect. Opinels are known to be… finicky. Being an all wood handle with no metal liners, they have a tendency to swell up and cause the blade to stick when exposed to water or humid conditions. I live in New York, not overly dry and not overly humid. Not long after taking it out of the package it started to stiffen. It would still open, but at about the halfway point the action got very tight. There are many reports of people not being able to open it at all when the blade gets trapped by the swelled wood handle. Not ideal for a blade that is ideal for food prep, since simply washing it off could inhibit the basic function of opening and closing. I saw a trick on YouTube where a guy baked it for about an hour at 180 degrees Fahrenheit on a piece of parchment paper and it worked like a charm. It now opens smoothly and easily, though I suppose it could just swell up again next time it gets wet or the weather gets humid. Using stabilized wood would eliminate this issue, but since Opinel sells literally millions of these knives every year I don’t see them changing it anytime soon. People go to great lengths modding and optimizing these cheapies, sanding finger grooves, sanding the pivot area, DIY wood stabilizing, soaking the whole thing in paraffin wax, filing a groove into the inner metal ring so that the blade opens completely straight (typically the blade is angled a couple of degrees downward when fully open as it comes into contact with this ring. Does not affect its cutting ability). I don’t suppose Opinel would have sold hundreds of millions of these knives over the last century if they didn’t work, and I don’t suppose people would go through so much trouble trying to make them perfect if they didn’t love them. Modern super knives are cool, and collecting them can be fun, but knives like this are a throwback to a simpler time when a man had one trusted knife because that was all he needed. The Opinel No. 8 makes a great Old Trusty.
