Cold steel eland fo shiggity. Opinel are rubbish. Like give some as gifts at work and see how they appreciate the gesture lol.9 times out of 10 they’ll be rusting away thrown into a junk drawer or tool box. I know, I know all about it
Translation , please .fo shiggity
MODUS is my choiceCurrently I go back & forth between a Steel Will Mini-Intr.igue & a Modus.
I'm finding that I like historic knives more and more, these days. I already have more knives than I can realistically use, might as well rotate through some that have good stories behind them, right?OP, I’d throw in a Mercator K55K as a great and historic budget folding knife.
Victorinox is vanity?Opinel. Been using them for nigh on 50 years, long before I knew what a knife nut was. Using, losing, whittling on, sanding, grinding, burning. Now I have a lot of the knives mentioned here, but I keep on buying Opinel. 6,8,7,10 in that order. Carbone.
My best discovery in the last 10 years has been Mora. 612, Companion, 611, 511, Kansbol.
Rough Rider Improved Muskrat.
But when it comes right down to it, Opinel and Mora. All else is vanity. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
