Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
yeah I gathered that much, but I'm curious to where it came from. I've never seen a two bladed opinel for sale before so I'm assuming it was a diy alteration..?
well i stick to my SAK ranger because it gets used for all sorts everyday but i have got my eye on one of these simply because it looks beautiful

Glad to hear it's being put to good use! I'm EDC'ing a SAK Huntsman I got on this here forum and I love it.
Only 3 for me, I spose working with sharp blades daily kinda dulls the interest a bit.
Top one was a pressie from one of my lads.
Middle one I found somewhere or other (Got William ******ers on tang, it's a bit worn, but made in Sheffield?)
Bottom one I use probably a couple of times a day and it goes everywhere with me, had it about 7 or 8 years.

Thank you.
Like the UK the law is very much open to interpretation.
My understanding is that as long as it's not used as an offensive weapon it's allowed.
So if your found carrying a knife here the trick is under no circumstances to say it's for self defence.
I still carry the same knife in the UK as well though.
As i have absolutely no intention of hurting anyone with it and i personally believe i have valid reasons for carrying it i'd happily slog it our in court.
Besides i don't intend to do anything to draw attention to myself to get searched in the first place.
that's a fair point! I also feel the law is left to us to decide and aslong as I have no intentions of specifically breaking any laws then it's ok. But I don't think everyone will agree..
Sorry mate missed the replies it was an idea i saw on bushcraftusa
fairly simple mod and I'm a cack-handed sod at the best of times
took 2 no7 opinels
removed locking rings
ground out the pins
disassembled
took a dremel and widened the channel on one of the handles so it would fit the two blade when closed and properly aligned
got a mate to machine me a new pin
removed a small amount of metal from the locking ring at the base of the lock part so either blade would lock with the same twist - alternatively you could cut a notch opposite the original one (thats what the other chap had done but I thought it was a tricker solution)
put it back together
sanded the handle down
sharpened so it splits hairs.....
