My customized Opinel

1mon 2d ago by feddit.uk/u/Iconoclast in pocketknife from feddit.uk

Made a notch in the handle to make opening the blade easier, burned the handle, and gave the blade an artificial patina with lemon juice. It's an old knife I don't use much - just keep it in my bike backpack - but it's great for carving and food prep thanks to the thin blade.

I had an opinel oyster knife that I desperately miss

An excellent set of mods. Such a classic knife.

Love to see an Opinel here, a knife I actually have.

The flared base should help keep it from getting lost in dark crevasses.

It does bear some resemblance to other flared things I know.
