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.
I would go with the Svord Peasant.No way will it shut on you'r fingers unless you let go of it,
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![]()
