Thank you for this summary of the thinking behind the "no lock" rule. I imagine the idea must be to discourage the use of pocket knives in a stsbbing motion. Coincidentally I also own a 7 cm Opinelband a 7cm Joker. In the past, I've considered removing the ring from my Opinel to permit daily carry, as it pains me that I never use it; the Joker gets all the action. I wonder whether it might be enough in law if I were to superglue the ring so it can't revolve about the handle.

Get video on an obscure knife. Just one gripe as a Spanish person. chorizo is pronounced Choritho, the Z is th in Spanish.

27 years. Ago when I was a young hunter, got one very same to yours. I like it a lot tho speaking truth never used it.

I have one wa clip point, love it. Little scalpel.

My great great granddad was Feathers Russell, I used to love watching this as a kid in Eynsham ❤️

A very nice looking knife. I just ordered one with bubinga wood. My previous Joker knife I returned due to the fact someone had placed the rotating lock on upside down. I kinda felt like it was jinxed.

Could a thump stud be used with this for one hand opening?

I've got this model, almost exactly the same but with a 9cm blade and 11cm handle. I love it. The steel takes a very fine edge and for such a thin, slicey blade the knife overall has a solid feel. You mentioned patinas and I would add that I got a few drops of Crystal Light on it and it almost instantly got stains on it, so it's obviously very reactive.

Thank you for a very comprehensive and very explained review of this lovely looking knife, I have just recently found Joker knives and have bought the NA74 with horn handles, very pleased. Thank you again, as I have been looking at this knife to add to my collection Take care Sam

5:47 That was my first thought. The pinky notch will help, but wet or fish-slimy 😣. But he is the cutest little guy

after 10 years

Welcome back Eynsham. One day I'll catch you 'live' again as I did at Derby in 1993! 👍😀

Excellent little knives, razor sharp.

Nice video 👍 A knife is a tool and the wrong intentions shoud be punished, not for having a tool, that's for thousands of years on the world. And a locking function is a Safety feature, specially for people with disabilities. And its discrimination against mankind and people with disabilities.

Americans must find this funny :) The Opinel is a toothpick over there

What a lovely video, great explanation around the law and the difference between a lock knife and folding knife. I stumbled upon this video as i wanted to investigate why my little no 74 is sharper than my Browning Lock Knife, My fixed blade Columbia, Gerber Gator, Morakniv fixed blade and pretty much any other high quality knife I possess. This knife blows everything I have out of the water and I am confused why.?.. I can only think that it is the carbon steel in this little Joker that just cuts into anything life knife through a slab of butter. That old saying you get what you pay for is totally untrue in this case. I would love the presenter to explain why this little folder is so sharp?

I have the plastic olive drab handle with carbon steel blade. It is a very durable and strong pocketknife!

I have the same. Excellent knife.

Still for sale? Please email me, Tim Waister

I bought one of those, mostly because I like olive wood and prefer carbon steel blades over stainless. Used it for almost anything including kitchen duties in an effort to get some patina on the blade quickly. When it arrived it was quite sharp and nice to use slicing onions etc but then I made a mistake: I used a diamond steel and strop on it! The knife has gone from razor sharp to scary sharp and slicing onions has been hampered by the fact that the blade digs into my chopping board making it an effort to raise the knife again for the next slice. It retains the edge quite well, not yet blunt enough for use in the kitchen again. On the downside the wood handles were in desperate need of oiling when it was new.

Thanks for uploading! I have a chance to attend the WFF this Sunday, so I have an idea of what to expect. Were there any outstandingly excellent food-stalls?

I bought a couple of the cheap Opinel knives without realising they were locking. It's worth mentioning that the locking bands are easily prized off, making them legal to carry.

Nice video
