>>928408Good choice OP.
Keep in mind that most of these replies come from people who think to know a lot about these things in theory and have zero experience.
Pkus it is a well known fact that any 4 chan board is utterly incompetent in its own topic.
I have been using a carbon no8 for a long time now. Works perfectly, sharpening it is childsplay. Sure it isn't a survival knife, you ain't gonna baton with it or something. Surely it isn't the best knife on the market, of fucking course a benchmade or a fallkniven or whatever will be a better knife, but no person needs a benchmade 162 for a fucking 4 hour hike or an overnight camping session.
Also it is a perfect edc knife, the lock is stable and sturdy and does the job. It takes 2 seconds to open it instead of 0.4, big deal.
But yeah, all this comes down to personal preference, if you go through a bunch of knives and end up liking something more than go for it, but in my opinion the Opinel no8 is an overall better choice than any benchmade or spyderco folder.
