Those Opinel folding knives are great for everyday carry. I have one in my pocket every day around the house. If I go out I then trade off for a Kershaw (Ken Onion assisted opening made in USA) or a Benchmade folder. The steel in the Opinel is good steel. The blade is thin and easy to sharpen and will hold a good edge. My only complaint is that of the blade shape on most of their folders. I'm not a big fan of the forward upward curve of the cutting edge. I like their "garden" style blade profile shape better. They have a "mushroom" knife that is neat also Old Bear has a nice "mushroom" knife check them out. I would cut off the brush end first.

[QUOTE="ZUG, post: 2304580, member: 2783"] Those Opinel folding knives are great for everyday carry. I have one in my pocket every day around the house. If I go out I then trade off for a Kershaw (Ken Onion assisted opening made in USA) or a Benchmade folder. The steel in the Opinel is good steel. The blade is thin and easy to sharpen and will hold a good edge. My only complaint is that of the blade shape on most of their folders. I'm not a big fan of the forward upward curve of the cutting edge. I like their "garden" style blade profile shape better. They have a "mushroom" knife that is neat also Old Bear has a nice "mushroom" knife check them out. I would cut off the brush end first.;) [/QUOTE]
