>>234779>Opinel: French; antique handle design that is inferior to more modern handle designs; the wooden handle can warp if left damp, the blade is thin; the blade is carbon steel and will rust...basically a meme knife that isn't remotely robust enough to rely on outside.It's carbon steel if you buy the carbon steel version. Any untreated wood warps when left damp. The blade is thin because it's for thin blade purposes like cutting up food. If you are using it to baton wood you're using it wrong
>Propane stoves are the snobs preferred tool. For slightly more weight a whisperlight international is significantly better. I like to know exactly how much fuel I have after using my stove and pressurized fuel bottles are more trouble than they're worth. Ultra lighters love the propane--which should indicate where the true snobbery lies.a whisperlite is about 3 times heavier than a pocketrocket and thats not even including the fuel and doesn't have its own igniter.
