Keep it Alive in 2025

Maybe get a new Garden knife? Though it would still be stainless.
This is the only Opinel I've pocketted to any extent, but it's a 7 rather than an 8.

I was thinking I might etch a Case that I've had for a while but which came from a Forum member. I'm glad I reminded myself of the quality of my fine hand work before I did any real damage.

I've never seen the garden knife in any other size than 08. 6 or 7 would be nice.

I assume any customization I'd do would be on the handle, not the blade.

The ONLY good thing about the vast number of leftovers is that it kind of defeats the flippersI

Don't count on that meako . I haven't checked today but two days ago there was an idiot on the Bay selling one (2024 BF knife) for $599.00 (U.S.). Don't know if he /she was successful.

Hilarious considering all a buyer would have to do is join blade forums and they could have one for substantially less. A knife so rare they’re still available for purchase.

Huh, I guess increasing the prices for all of the forum loyal doesn’t dissuade flipping. Who’d have thought!

You're good at that. I look forward to seeing the result.

Opinel ?? ... I prefer a No.7 (pictured) although most people don't I guess.
Regardless of size and as appropriate to the model, I have to modify top of the handle butt to get rid of a palm poking hotspot.

My favorite model! I must try to track down a horn handle as well!

Love that horn. Mine is Bubinga wood.
15yrs ago, it fell from my pocket while napping at Fort Sofa.
My pup returned it to me. Smart pup !!! He KNEW to grab it by the handle
Sanded down the rough spots on this now priceless (to me) piece.
