I have had one of these before but sadly lost it somewhere. This is a good knife for all sorts of uses - I use mine mostly in the garden but have been known to pack it as a fruit knife for a picnic. Carbon steel is easier to keep lovely and sharp. The holster is handy in the garden as I clip it to my shorts so it's always at hand. Negatively, the 'hinge' is quite loose, as is the locking ring, and it does not always remain reliably open. I suspect if it got damp and the wood swelled a little, that problem would go away but that is probably not quite the idea.All in all, I'm glad to have it around but had I bought it from a shop or show (Chelsea Flower Show for the last one)

Absolutely fantastic utility knife! Received by next-day delivery and I was highly impressed by the quality of the product! It comes in its own little display like box with the knife and sheath secured inside. The knife is a decent weight and is extremely sturdy so there is no risk of it falling apart anytime soon! The blade is a carbon steel blade and is already ground to an extremely sharp edge and is accompanied by a beautiful Beech handle with a smooth finish to it! Opinel is a fantastic brand that is definitely reliable and this is reflected in their products!Will definitely be expanding my Opinel collection soon!

My French grandfather introduced me to opinel when I was a teen, he had several and he always carried a no 8, so as my son was going to Australia this year on a year long driving trip I decided to buy him one for Christmas he was very happy with it and told me he had bought a whittling book for himself to take with him. I use a carbon no 8 and have made several spoons with it when I lived in Spain from olive wood, so I would recommend to anyone interested in crafting to buy an opinel, they're also just as easy to use in camping and the kitchen as well as to eat your food with....!!!!!

I had been wanting an Opinel for a long time as I have heard such good things about them and I am so glad that I have finally bought this one. The number 8 is a good all round knife yet lightweight and simple. The case does feel a little cheap and I wouldn't want to rely on the belt loop but it does keep it safe and secure if you have it knocking about in the bottom of your rucksack. Arrived extremely sharp so just a quick strop every so often should ensure that it keeps it's edge. Extremely pleased!

The Opinel knife is a brilliant little light weight folding knife. I've misplaced my last one but like it so much I bought another. the locking ring makes it very safe preventing accidental opening or closing and comes very sharp straight out of the box. and this one comes with its own sheath.they are cheap and well worth a look at.they are not a heavy duty knife I wouldn't consider battening with it but feather sticks are possible definitely possible.

Amazing knife. Bought this kiife to do carving and whittling with. Case is good quality and keeps the knife safe. Knife arrived super Sharp and has remained so with minor sharpening. Handle is nice to hold and makes the knife safer having the blade lock. This is a must have knife for anyone that needs to use a knife often. Perfect size for most jobs and not too big to carry around in your pocket safely. Am going to buy another

Fantastic knife. I have had one of these for years and they don't let you down. Brought this as a present for my brother. The holder felt good quality leather. I always get the carbon steel ones but my brother wanted the stainless for use with wild foods. The locking mechanism is foolproof and very reliable. I have put a 5 star as the product is so good but Amazon really let it down with useless packaging and broken box.

Great little knife. Took a while to arrive but it looks and feels well made and worth the money. My slight concern is in order to fix the blade you turn a segment. Already after a week in the woods it's tricky to twist due to natural dust dirt and grime getting into it. My concern is I won't be able to lock the blade into place making it dangerous to use. Also incredibly sharp.

I have had one of these knives for over 15 years, albeit a bit worn now; the blade is one of the best for re-sharpening to a razor-sharp edge. I would recommend this product to anyone. If you like a really sharp knife, don't buy stainless steel; buy this carbon steel knife by Opinel. It will discolour, but it can be cleaned.

WARNING: STAINLESS STEEL NOT CARBON (AS STATED IN DESCRIPTION)An exceptional knife, as opinel always are! You can find the knife cheaper at go outdoors but no sheath so i recommend buying this product! The collar lock is sturdy and the knife is razor sharp so it is important it does not shut on your fingers.9.5/10

Can't go wrong with a no. 8 there's a reason they have been around for so long and stand the test of time. Came razor sharp, holds its edge well and easy to sharpen up again. Feels good in the hand and is nice and sturdy for and task you want it for. Belt pouch is also good strong stitching and nice secure faster

The Opinel knife is, as usual faultless, the sheath is a bit flimsy but ok, the clip for attaching to your belt loop is completely RUBBISHIt fell to bits within 2 hours !!! I have replaced it with a stainless steel shackle. Fine now. Opinel need to review the clip !!! Carl Bray.

This was a gift, arrived in time. The knife is beautiful and the sheath is a very nice synthetic leather, good feel and weight to it with a small carabiner clip. The knife itself has a really good weight behind it with a wonderfully sharp blade. Good work french knife makers!

I've had one of these for easily 20 years, and have just bought one for my son as his 'first knife'. Really, if you are going to go for a knife, then you won't be disapointed in this. It locks, both open and closed, and the sheath is lovely, with a belt loop or carabiner.

Absolutely in love with this little knife. I bought it as food prep knife while backpacking and it’s perfect for that. It’s not a knife your going to split wood with or anything like that. Though has been used well to make feather sticks. Very sharpe out of box
