Hi to all!
inspired from "steven andrews" post I´ve decided to re-shape my opinel as well.
I´ve grind the blade into a droppoint form and shaped the handle for more comfy.
After all that work (which took me 30min.) I´ve wood stained the handle in dark brown.
The texture of the wood took the stain unequal so it became a old used look which I find is very nice.
This was originally an Opinel No.9 and on the Pic you can see the finished product with two different light conditions.
Thx for inspire me - hope you like it
greetings from Austria
Mike
