Opinels offer incredible cutting performance.
They will easily outslice virtually every other knife made. I think they are ideal for pocket carry.
If you take the ring off and treat the wood underneath it will resist swelling much better.
I consider the Opinel to be an essential part of a well balanced EDC package <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
