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..?
thats what the caption to the pic says
it is one of theseAhh never mind!
bit too crude, you reckon? I'd love a svord blade put into a decent solid handle that's been pinned. My alst one had lveoly walnut scalesn that were donated to me but it got lost when I was working a few months back. (still carrying that clasp knife you gave me magentus!)
nice knives, I guess the law is a little different in your neck of the woods then!
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.
and the reason why I asked about it.. (curious to how it was done).
geez.
ah nice, can you explain the opinel trapper please mate!?
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.....
