Opinel ...Google-Fu challenge

[Robbi]

Eveing all,

Here's a challenge that's a bit of fun.

We all know and love the good old Opinel pocket knife but how many variations are there ?

Let's take the most popular size, the No 8, I've found 9 variants ( styles not blade material ) but can anyone find more ?

Here's what I've found...........

1. Standard pocket knife
2. Corkscrew
3. Outdoor
4. Pruner
5. DIY
6. Picnic
7. Slim
8. Gardener
9. Mushroom

Can you add to the list ?

There's a safety (rounded end) version and you can get No.8's handled in Olive, ebony, oak and a few other woods. Here's a link to Heinnie Haynes Opinel selection;

I've got a stainless bladed, olive handled one with laser etched pheasants on the handle, my son has a similar one, with a different hunting scene etched on. Both were bought from a little shop in France, from a box of assorted ones, over 10 years ago. No idea how many variations they had.

I'm looking for different styles, not handle material, not blade material, not modified ones, just how many different styles from the factory ( No 8 only )
