Looks like a great camp knife.

I've had mine for a few years and it hasn't failed me with any chore I've used it for. I have never used it to baton wood because I could see from day one, like you did, it wasn't really meant for that. It works for a lot of stuff and the size is great for me. Nice review. Thanks.

Thanks for the honest review. I also find the easily damaged blade and scales and the potential locking problem concerning.

I use mine as a camp cook knife.

I have used Opinels as EDC pocket knives for years. They are lightweight, very sharp and the lock is 100% reliable if not rather slow in operation. They are also inexpensive, which is a great selling point for someone like me who manages to lose pocket knives on a fairly regular basis. All those are plusses. But as a do-it-all survival knife, the original Opinels would not be a wise choice. The blade is just not strong enough for heavy duty work. That said, this beefed-up Opinel has potential. I doubt I would ever rely on it as my sole BOB blade, but as a back-up it has promise. I really like the accessory cutting blade. It could save a lot of wear on the main cutting steel.

I wonder why they didn’t make the locking ring out of titanium or something strong that wouldn’t dent so readily as the poster showed

Comment éclater son couteau, il n'est pas fait pour ça.

I wouldn’t choose any folder as my survival tool that my life depends on.

Can't see this as a reliable "survival" or bushcraft knife (especially for safety reasons). Perhaps as a camp kitchen knife for starting a fire with the included ferro rod and some light-duty food prep. and tasks. Thank you for the clear and honest review. Happy Tails! 🇺🇸 🏕 🌲

c'est un couteau , pour les autres usages , nous utilisons plutôt des haches ou des pioches ?

Hi Jony. Thank you for that great review. I like the demonstrations and comments. Stay safe. ATB.

That's a nice alternative with less bulkiness to it than the SWAs. Of course the SWA is more diverse, but I quite like Opinel blades for their finer finish. Horses for courses as they say. Great Video, thanks for making the content!

Nie ma to jak wymyślenie narzędzia do rozwiązywania problemów które nie istnieją.

Is the hook blade meant to be used as a scraper for the ferro rod?

@@sosteve9113 OK, I need it! ✌🏼

Opinel is too conservative, they really could come with new designs. I would love to see an Opinel fixed blade knife, a utillity/bushcraft like a Mora, but with the traditional Opinel blade shape and grind, to make for a good slicer.

I dont get the fascination of using a knife as an axe or hatchet...using a knife like that to cut boards is ludicrous. Secondly that is a ferrocerium rod not flint...i doubt you could pull of a flint and steel fire...90K subscribers to this channel is mind blowing...wtf

If you don't like it go somewhere else. He's showing what you could do in a survival situation where the only tool you have is a knife
