Number 8 Opinel

Opinels come in eleven sizes. Number 8 (an 8.5cm blade) is perhaps the most popular and convenient size for general purpose use.
This knife was purchased in the mid 1970s. I seem to remember that the handle is pearwood. Beechwood is now the material of choice.

1/100s f/3.5 at 10.2mm iso100 full exif

Opinels are great knives. I've used them since I was at school. I now have the biggest one; its a monster!
