Opinels

[Ranger99]

A few assorted sizes
Top- #10, #6, olive wood #8
Below that- saw they used to
offer on a #12 sized handle, #12
Middle- #7
Below that- well used #12, Cold
Steel's version of opinel #12 they
used to sell in the good Lynn Thompson
days- zytel handle, Carbon V blade,
same/similar locking mechanism.
I wish I'd been able to buy several
of these in the different sizes offered
when they were made and available

I've never seen that style/pattern knife. Interesting,

[Ranger99]

European pattern ( french) from the late
1800's
Improvement on the " penny knife " that
was common in the Colonial days in
the soon to be America and in europe.

A friend who sold knives and guns and
wholesale law enforcement goods had
those when I first saw them.
But a larger one was around $10 otd.
and is about $30 today
