When in the Alps of Northern France I bought a nice handmade Opinel Knife with leather case.
It also had an engraved handle of some Marmottes.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It cost me 30 Euros and it is real good quality and sharp. Bargain in my opinion, for a leather case too!
The leather case also holds a long pen shaped metal object with fine vertical grooves in it, I thought it was procesed flint but it doesn't appear to spark with my blade and it seems too soft to be a sharpener, any ideas?
Has anyone heard of Opinel? Any good? Thanks.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
