I may (or may not) get a pass-out to spend a few days in France visiting a friend.

Any recommendations on the best opinel to get please?

Are there any decent alternatives to Opinel knives which are easily found? Any advice much appreciated.

TIA

Best Wishes
David

any opinel is fine!
you can get also any traditionnal knife,huge range of them,favourite brand of mine:"le parapluie à l'épreuve".
quite a name i recognise,also go for an other brand :"le sabot"
and the brass ones: "coursolle". you'd go for a douk-douk wich is a razor,but handle hurts while working a lot with it!
and some more...
