>>1512747Opinel is one of the best knives you can get for the money. Comparing it to most chink knives is unreasonable. Actually because of the geometry it would out cut most of the Spyderco, Benchmade and other higher end makers knives. It definetelly has some negatives.
Wooden handle swells up from moisture, becomes hard to open.
No one hand opening
Lock is not as easy to engage and disengage as a modern folder.
Even then it is a great knife and cheap so if you lose it is not a lot of money.
