Not sure what the best forum to post this in but will try this one. I saw this on another forum and think it is a link to a French site. I don't understand the words but I think you will agree the carvings are pretty impressive. Les Opinel customs de Rob |

An old carver who gave me plenty of help always swore by Opinel Knives. They are for French farmworkers, have been made for centuries and are very cheap to buy. Get one (or more) if you can.......... |

That is the beautiful simplicity of the Opinel action. only a pin, a blade, the locking ring, and wooden handle with a slot. Simple yet rugged and makes art like this possible without a lot of specialty tools or an engineering degree. Thanks for sharing the link. |
