New life for my old Opinel

  • 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.
Gorgeous! A Dremel eh? Now that shows a very steady hand! Very professional looking job that.

So how bad was the stink of antler on the belt sander?

I like my moded Opinel too, it's my EDC. Just wished I'd seen this before I did my own modificactions. Oh well maybe next time. Know what you mean about this forum inspiring people to have a go at things normally outside of their comfort zones. It's not always smoke and mirrors.

The antler smells like..........well it smells like teeth grinding at the dentist office. I always wear a dust mask but it still stinks!! I may be doing another opinel for myself this weekend and will post pics asap.

Any chance of doing a series of pics to make it a tutorial.

I'd especially like to see how you took the original opinel apart and put it back together in the antler.
