Bought the No eight a few days ago and was disappointed. The blade was dull, pitted and rolled over on the cutting edge. I guess they are lacking on quality control. Would not even shave the hair on my arm.

@@eastonvonschist2283 I prefer carbone to stainless. Easy to sharpen. It could give taste with foodprep. You could leave the blade into vinegar. It will turn into a nice grey patina and is a bit protected from corosion and the metal taste with foofprep is not so bad anymore.

Now I see why Opinel can make such a great knife at such a silly low price... the steel temper is really good and they come pretty sharp out of the box.... a touch up with a fine hone and they are crazy sharp and hold an edge very well. I have a 6 for the pocket and a 10 in my "bug out" bag for general duties. I will inevitably buy more of these wonderful knives. I have expensive ones from Gerber and Spyderco, and yes they are nice, but the Opinels cut as well, hold an edge as well, are easier to use thanks to the handle shape and cost about 10% of the others. No one should be without one or two (or more) Opinels IMHO.

I've lost my Opinel Carbon No. 8 in the woods a couple of days ago, my very faithful companion which served me for four years :( Already ordered two No. 9, one carbon with the beech handle ( Carbon steel's one has only beech handles I think) and the Inox Olive -to make a swap of the handles. The quality of Opinel Carbon blades is legendary :)

An easy way to loosen the action on these wooden handles is to open the blade, and bake them in a 350 oven for 1 hour. I also rub a little olive oil on the handle beforehand, and it gives them a nice patina. Will never open hard again.
