thats very interesting, its a shame when your outcome comes down to wot mood the copper is in.
To be fair though a doorman shouldnt be carrying a knife full stop. I wouldnt take a edc on a night out. All my personal.opinion of coarse

Figured I'd revive this thread as it seemed quite popular!
on the topic of the title.. I've been using an opinel no*7 for alot of stuff lately, mainly wood carving and on a few fabrics and I have to say I really like it. At first I didn't think much of it as it was a tad tricky to get shaving sharp, the handle size/shape wasn't right for me and the blade tip felt weak.. but after a little modifying I can say I thoroughly enjoy using it now!
Mainly because of it's grind and thin blade being able to slice brilliantly even once it's lost its shaving edge.
few pics of it with the new finger groove, rounded blade tip and oiled handle..
I still really like my svord (currently working the handle a little more) but I think the opinel has great aspects that can often be missed!
so keep the favourite pocket knives coming guys

looks nice! are the dark bits rubberised?
how would you say wenger holds up against victorinox?
the wengers I've held had nicer looking blades (and can openers) but felt less refined and the handles a bit cheap..

I have an Alox Farmer on my keyring following advice from this thread. Great wee knife - I use the awl as often as the blade. The best knife is the one you have on you
I heard the farmer has a thicker blade than the standard sak, is this true?
Like I've said before, you cannot beat a sak for practicality! the saw is actualy very usefull also.. even if some say they aren't

yeah picked up one of those too... it lives in my wallet most of the time lol nice little knife!
a little known fact is they are both one and the same I understand, since 2005! though they keep both trading names active it seems
yup the black bits are rubberised and the ergo grip works a treat, the high vis means its a tad harder to mislay too, its pretty much become an EDC item now, another of the nice features is that it's lost the cork screw and gained a real Phillips screwdriver which I find a lot more useful..
ah ok, there is a difference though.. even if it was just the one knife in the shop.
a phillips would be more useful to me than the cork screw.. I'd like a file too (diy manicure )
there is a model with all that, can't think of the name though..
Bushwacker bob.. very nice! what's the g3 tk4 like?

Sorry guy's had to join in the show...
Could anyone possibly ID the sak's? (oops center one is up side down)
My fav's are these two from the folders, the one on the right I have had at least 20 years, the sorry looking one was from a boot sale recently, have not had time to clean it up yet.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but are there any folding knives that have a scandinavian grind?
thanks

I've not held one before but it sounds good. Do you have a side by side of one with a standard sak?
Maybe a blade by blade shot to get the thickness difference..
Scandi ground pocket knives are around but I don't have any, try HH I'm sure they stock them.
