Amen. 45 yearsBuck 110…
For decades I did all my deer field work with a smaller carbon steel Opinel (no. 6 and no. 7) and still carry one often. I still really love those knives--cheap, light, and easy to sharpen. I can get a carbon steel Opinel shaving sharp and touch it up as necessary in the field with a credit card sized diamond stone. The steel seems to be soft but that makes it easy to sharpen. I think they look classy too--you can use it on a cheese board without it seeming out of place (clean the blood and hair off first for best results).I’m trying an Opinel #8 and #9 knives this year to see how I like them. One carbon and one stainless just to compare. Light weight, affordable, sharp. Not pocket knife type folders but still folders.
