My No.2 is my most beat up knife and used almost on the daily. I have the keychain version and its attached to my car keys. The amount of times that little no.2 has come in useful is utterly amazing.

I love them. Simple great design

Hi, glad you like our iconic French Opinel knives. they're perfect !!! the n° 8 is the iconic one, with a carbon steel blade. Bonjour à mes amis Américains. les Opinels sont les meilleurs, basiques, et des super couteaux. le " design" date de 1890 et n'a pas changé depuis

I have had a #5 for a long time. It is versatile. Good video again.

I would probably drill a hole at the end of the #2 and put it on a keychain. I have a SAK that I use in a similar way and I have used it for small tasks like sharpening a pencil or opening mail. The SAK also has the added benefit of scissors though which come in handy often as well.

That’s exactly what I will do…

When a design hasn't needed to be changed for 150 years you know the company is doing something right. I have a No. 8 slimline and a No. 9 Great knives, and excellent quality for the price.

Man, ya have something against small knives? Haha. There are many out there with small hands that like smaller knives. My girlfriend, for example, has what seem to be the world's smallest hands, one of the smaller Opinel knives would be perfect for her. Also, that #2 is awesome. I recently lost my tiny Swiss army knife that I kept on my keyring, that #2 would be a great replacement. Honestly, seeing a company make a knife with so many size options is refreshing. Too often I'll come across a great knife and find out that it isn't a size that would be optimal for me.

I always have a opinel N 8 on me

No.4 is my EDC. Not threatening and legal in most places. It doesn’t take much space on a hike or fishing trips. Useful for small jobs, including slicing cheese and fruit etc. The carbone develops a nice patina and holds its edge longer than stainless steel.

Number 2 is for cut your weed

Great overview and presentation! The classic design and great blade geometry made me an Opinel fan. My go-to is the No. 6, but that could change if I move someplace where I can carry whatever knife I like. The really small ones could be good options for folks who must deal with truly Draconian knife laws. Though I rarely use them, they have a bit of a novelty factor that appeals to me. Now I want to get a few carbon Opinels and see what kind of patina I can force on them...

Personally, I don't go below No. 6s due to size and the lack of the lock. I EDC a customized (striped, stained, burnered, and scorched) No. 8 in a sheath and customized No. 6s are left in jackets as spares. I debated going with a No. 9 for EDC but decided the No. 8 hit that sweet spot.

I'm new to OPINEL KNIVES JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST ONE A # 7

Ok, hear me out, the N°2 is basically a scalpel, keep it in your aid kit and keep it sharp and clean, could be good for splinters, an personally I would use it for sewing, cutting thread and trimming leather

My favorite is the N 6. Small but still locking. Large enough for me for food and daily tasks.

It's a full CONVEX grind with a tiny microbevel, that you can easily blend, into a full convex blade, simply by sharpening on a stone or by using sandpapers etc. Again, Opinels are a full convex grind, not flat.

Thank you...YES, you are definitely correct. That was my bad. It's subtle...but you can definitely tell. I did not notice at the time, but now looking closer, it is definitely Convexed. Very tiny microbevel!

Great blades for the price very sharp slices great I only have a mid sized version paid like $12 I think plus I like the old style look though I do admit it doesn’t get much pocket time with everything out there.

Assuming the little guys like the #2, 3, and 4 etc have a 90 degree spine like the larger models, I would consider including them in mini emergency fire kit. They may make a good ferro rod scrapper and good for preparing small tinder, shavings and so on

I could see the 5 being a nice blade for a child to learn with. The nice thing is the lock is very secure.

Never offer an Opinel under the n°6 size to a child because the smallest sizes haven't a virobloc locking ring. Without any safety to keep the blade opened, it's too dangerous. The size of the blade is not a problem, but the lack of blade locking is a problem. When I was 10 years old, my grand mother offered me a n°7, I still have it today (I'm 54) and thanks to the locking ring I also still have my fingers.

My brother got me one of those knives when he came back from France and I have to say they are pretty nice knives

I got a No.2 for the novelty. Just a collection piece. But I sharpened it to Jesus sharp and its a fantastic letter opener

Super Opinel ! Like👍👍👍

Thanks... do want to mod them...I started on one already.

I use thesmall blade on my swiss army knife a lot. Its about the skze of that number 2. For fishing, cutting lines and knots, or cutting tape and plasters, string or opening stuff. A small blade is pretty useful, though scissors are often better.

I always have my No. 6 or 7 in my pocket.

also you might want to strop a new Opinel if you like a razor sharp blad.

I’ve been using my no 3 for wood carving where my no 7 is too long to shape what I need

#2 where use cleaning smoking pipes.

I carry a no5 as a food knife here in the UK. With out silly knife laws it's the best edc option. I carry a victorinox for any dirty work and a knifeless leatherman on my belt.

I carry fixed blade. I love Openels for modifications

The no 5 and down are usefull in the uk because for us to be able to carry them in public they need to have an under 3 inch blade length and be non locking so we need the non locking compacity of them if we want to have an EDC knife, the uk laws are crazy strict coz people get stabbed all the time here coz we go no guns

Uk should just ban knives 😂😂😂 so pathetic

no 3 is good for backpacking when you're counting every gram to reduce pack weight.

The number 2 is used in the forest when you sit on a log and whittle away and make some curls.

no 7 is perfect for split an apple or cutting a breakfast bagel, or breaking down a fried chicken. :) a pocket friend.

It's a dice toss, sometimes I get one that's solid and puts up with abuse it shouldn't go through Others fresh out of the box has small front and back play Eben with the throat lock

id say the opinel comes in then u want to edc and not look like ur armed with a weapon when u want to peel a apple in the office.. like its not threatening its just a little tool.. also very cheap also light.. and does the job.. For a average male i like the no8, smaller sizes could be nice if u are a female.. I have a 10 but thats a bit big for carrying.. nice for doing a outdoor bbq stuff like that.

These. Opinel. Knives. Have. Been. Around. Many. Years. Don't need. To be sold. Just buy one. !!!!

They make a #2 Keychain knife

Opinel knives are awesome i have n 12 carbon

Lol I was very curious to see what you were going to say about the smaller ones.

A blade is a blade as long as it is sharp .

Opinel are sharp and durable with a classic wood handle. By the way, they are measured in centimeters in Europe

It’s tree wood. 🖖🏻

till 1935 there was n°1 and n°11

The #2 is for splitting blunts

You are the lasts of the world still using inches ... Would you be american ? If you were using the metric system, you would know that the n°12 means that the blade is 12 centimeters long, the n°10 has a 10 cm long blade, etc, etc ... Except for the very small ones, the n°2 has a 3,5 cm blade, but who buys such small knives ? It's more for a collection. I have read in the comments under that the smallest where made for the children as first knife. I don't agree, because till the n°6, Opinel knives don't have a secured blade with the famous virobloc ring. So if you want to offer a child his/her first knife, offer at least a n°6. The size of the blade doesn't really matter (6,7,8 cm) but safety matters, make sure the blade can be locked. When I was 10 years old, my grand mother offered me a n°7 ... I'm 54, I still have that knife and I also still have all my fingers.

you have small hands and fingers...😂😉

I use Number 2 on the key ring it is always with me if have my keys with me also it is legal in the UK, it is less heavier than the swiss army knife.

Son of NICK SHABAZZ??????????

This dude sure does like the sound of his own voice. Takes over 5 minutes to show the knives inside the box. No wonder he has a low audience count.
