Was given a lot of tools and inside one of the tool boxes there was this little crate of opinel knives. There’s a #12,2x#10, 2x#8 (one is the red “French 98”), #6, & a #4. Any information about these would be great.11mo ⋅ MooseHK762 ⋅ r/Opinel

Couldn't resist this little one. Does anyone regularly put a smaller opinel to use and what are applications where this size actually makes sense?11mo ⋅ Civil_Attention1615 ⋅ r/Opinel

After a month of use and being used 2-4 hours a day on average, it’s really making me consider why I ever bought thick bladed American knives. This knife is a slicing machine and can handle some major abuse. I can’t even keep a patina on it. 😬2yr ⋅ No_Swimmer_5590 ⋅ r/Opinel
Custom No.8 Carbone - Filed blade down to a drop point, added jimping on spine and a sharpening choil, reshaped, sanded and oiled handle, started patina on blade with cold blue, then sharpened. Still bigger than I like to carry. Should I put it on ebay?3wk ⋅ mercenarypawn ⋅ r/Opinel
Should I open this and put it on keys or should I keep it in the package. I know nothing about opinel (I primarily use GEC)5mo ⋅ TheRealMitraGenie ⋅ r/Opinel

To open the security collar on my OPINEL i used this pliers. I made it to get the rivet holding tighter the blade. It works to open and close the blade now smooth with a good feeling.3yr ⋅ Swiss_El_Rosso ⋅ r/Opinel

Opinel 10 auto build. This was an exercise to see if an automatic could be fabricated from an Opinel using all the original parts. I can see that with the right machine tools it could be done with less material. The wood handle doesn't lend itself to be taken apart for assembly and tuning.4yr ⋅ Texascurdog ⋅ r/Opinel
First Opinel mod ever, sanded with sand paper and used Dremel tool to get more of a curve in the handle for my smaller hands and then torched and finished in Tung oil, then added lanyard with snake knot and a loop4yr ⋅ Parkwood4 ⋅ r/Opinel

This is the 4th Opinel I have modified, and the 1st time I reshaped part of the blade. I’m not sure if I will keep the blade clean or force a patina.5yr ⋅ Faloopa ⋅ r/Opinel
