As the title suggests, Not really a mod, more of a clean up. But I took the varnish off my old no. 8 and oiled it up. Mainly because I find varnish quite uncomfortable on handles with prolonged use.
I didn't take a before shot, but you all know what an Opinel looks like, and you can guage the improvement by the state of the blade!
Got me thinking though, why put varnish on a handle? Does anyone else find it uncomfortable or have I just gone soft since moving into town?
