The "Transitional" of Pocket Knives?

[Pedder]

I've some of them, but not for woodworking. Perfect for any picnic. The Steel is old fashion carbon and so the com really sharp. Perfect for cutting Tomato ans Speck.

I have an Opinel Model N13 which is 11 inches long unopened... Made for gardening...The knife is unused and has turned a beautiful patina-dark tone in color. I ran into a range of lengths at a shop recently and one was about one inch long. Beech is a very hard wood. My knife has a leather lace/loop on the tail end of the knife.

Lots of woody character!

I don't like the newer pocket knives and haven't for years. They are too fat and bulky and wears a hole in the pocket. Too much handle for the blade and cheap blades.

I still carry the thin Japanese one made from stainless and rosewood in the late 60's.

For work, I use whatever I have.

This won't wear a hole in your pocket:



Highly recommended. Got mine a year ago.  Love it.  I did roll the pointed tip over a bit.  Kept sticking myself

Perfect for any picnic.

I agree.  Mine has been in the picnic kit for the last 30 years or so, and is still in fine shape.

Opinel also sells wooden box kits with multiple knives.  My N13 knife is 20 inches long opened. The blade is marked Inoxydable which translates to Stainless in English.  To me the knife looks like a work of art and is in a display cabinet along with crafts and antiques. The company has special designs including fancier wood handles.
