Before the crash I was asking for your advice and opinions on folding knives. I think it was between Opinel No.8 and Svord Peasant. Comments and advice welcomed.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
You have the no. 8 I think Martin do you prefer that over the Svord?
I have a Spyderco Manix II and love it, but then that's a fixed blade replacement for me. For general foraging and bimbling needs, an Opinel is great; just watch out for the fact that it locks; though there are non-lock versions.
Thx for that Steve.Originally Posted by Marvell
I would go with the Svord Peasant.No way will it shut on you'r fingers unless you let go of it,
Thanks for your comment.
Ooooo. Mr Postman has just delivered a shiney new Opinel No. 8. Thx for all who participated in this thread and the previous one that died in the forum crash. Happy person now.
Iv'e had a Opinel No 8 for about 10 years, lost it in the garden for a while? - dead easy to keep sharp will last a lifetime, BUT there's something about a SVORD Peasant
