>>1490104I have a nice Opinel knife. I live in the UK so I want a knife which is aesthetically pleasing, locks, but isn't going to set off any alarm bells with the plod. I recommend it for backpacking and EDC if you are looking for a new blade.
I have never used it for anything important but taking it has never hurt either. Going out is supposed to be fun. If you like playing with knifes then take one with you.
