I am actually planning on getting an Opinel in case I ever end up a Hobo, living on the harsh road and traveling the country by hopping trains. I can think of no knife better then an Opinel to open soup cans, not to mention, what says “Hobo who’s seen better times” better then a damned Opinel 😂
I’m stabbing all my cans with a gerber strong 💪 lol
French here, lot of us love it because the first one u got is probably a gift from your father or grand father (like me). Its just a tool, a basicaly usefull one. You will use it will your 200$ s35v titanium knives stay in the house.
The blow on the opinel makes this knife even more enjoyable. ;)
Hey, I am French and so know a bit about opinel, this is the knife that my grandfather who was a farmer was carrying as EDC (and as sole knife) and he was using it for pretty much everything from the lunch or dinner to gardening or even any other day to day task. Anyway, I am same as you, not fan of that knife and get more than 200 knives but no opinel at all... But he explains me the reason of the success: back in the time, people where quite poor and had not too much stuffs, they had only essential stuffs. My grandfather had 3 pants: 2 working blue pants for the week and 1 dressed for the Sunday at church. He had the same 3 pants for more than 20 years... Opinel was the only knife back in the time which was 1. Cheap, 2. Available everywhere, 3. Reliable 4. Easy to re sharp, 5. Versatile with its blade shape and 6. Was not piercing the pockets of the pants as was light and because of the round handle shape who cannot pierce. So less maintenance for people in the country who had very few clothes and where keeping valuable things like coins or few cash they may had in the pants pocket only. That last point was always mentioned by my grandfather and people around and with low price, was one of the major success reason. It was before they invented pocket clip... Lol. Now this is part of history for French people.
I am using an opinel this very moment. They are the best knife I have found for the specific job I am doing (cutting elastmeric insulation. I have a Ti AD 20.5 in my pocket that I love but it sucks for cutting what I'm trying to cut.
“I can grow 500 mustaches before I get the blade out”! Mc you never fail to make me laugh.
Its enough time for multiple industrial revolutions to happen 🤣
😂😂😂
Man , this is the one of the best , most entertaining videos I've seen in months!!! Thank you so much. I've laughed out loud several times during this video!!!
I’ve sent so many back. My problem is that I usually find reasons to keep knives more so than any other item I have collected. Ever since I was a kid having a new knife has put a smile on my face. I can’t believe I never knew this community existed until very recently and I love the knowledge I have gained. I spent years collecting in shear ignorance and wanting to learn everything myself. To each their own but the knowledge is there thanks to the information revolution in part and your ability to describe facts that are organized and relatable.
I’m at the point where I have enough knives to almost know what I like and almost predict what I won’t like… but finite money and too many options. I’ve hit a weird wall where I “like” a lot of what I see, but don’t see value in spending on most of them anymore.
I’m almost thinking that I’ll have to pay for custom work to get what I actually want… and then I’ll find all
of the minor annoyances with my own designs after using them for a while and be right back where I am lol.
You have gained wisdom my friend.
I love it. The Opinel is the Achilles heel of all knife collectors because it’s the ultimate “good enough”. It’s sharp, it folds and it cuts, nuff said. It is “THE” folding knife in its base form.
For the first 16ish years of my life my dad was a disc jockey in our hometown, I grew up listening to literally EVERYTHING .
As someone who adores the Opinel and has over 20 of them, I will start by simply saying, your opinion is YOURS. I can't change that. And the only reason I'm saying this is because I just want you to take a second to imagine this from our (Opinel lovers) perspective. A knife is not just a tool, It's also a statement. To us, carrying something with a history dating back before the Great War is already showing a traditional value. Also, the same way some people like a classic Pocket Watch instead of a massive Diver or a Smart Watch, people can just prefer traditional style. As I do. Also, the Opinel is unbeatable in price. You can't get a spectacular modern knife for 11 bucks. Also, the slowness of opening is hardly slower than a slipjoint. Besides, the only time an extra second will matter when opening a knife is in a self-defense scenario. Oh, and the steel is nice on the carbon models. Plus, you can choose modern plastic models. So all in all, I get what you mean, but I hope you can at least understand why we like traditional knives such as Opinel. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, to the one person who sees this.
Its Ok that you don't like the Opinel. Its one of my favorites. Seems to cut really well, and I'm rarely in a big enough hurry that the time seems to be costly. I usually never lock it though.
I have had so many of these in my life, Opinel fishing knives. They float if you drop them in the lake on accident. Very sharp. I still have hand me downs from my Grandpa
But if you don’t like them, fine. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad knife, just maybe you don’t understand these simple knives. No bearings or gears, just a proper fishing knife.
If I tie it to something heavy will it sink? That's all I need to know
@@metal_complex 🤣🤣🤣
I've just gotta say that I love your energy and your mix of professionalism but also silliness and your canded moments. Keep up the good work and don't change a thing about yourself!
I agree on the Sebenza. I have an extra fancy version of a Large Sebenza 31 and I just don’t like it much. I think it’s one of the prettiest knives I own but I don’t like carrying it.
Opinel, the company that has been around since 1890 but somehow got stuck in 1950 for the past 70 years.
Cheap, effective and they sell...sounds like they are doing something right.
I love my Sebenza cause I dedicated myself to it and now its broken in enough to quickly flip out like any other knife. Mine is also custom so it looks great. However, even the base knife is a great example of everything you need and nothing you dont but also incredibly well made.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
This Sunday’s service at the MC apex church of knifedome was very very relatable and pastor MC continues to bring forth sharp advice and wisdom 😂😂
I love the Hinderer flipper tab, and the fact that it acts as a finger guard.
The Opinel is the only folding knife I feel that I can use primarily for cutting food
To each their own, we all have different taste… but I absolutely love my Sebenza. It’s my favorite knife and most used in my collection 😃👍🏻🔪
3/5 on topic, 1/5 Abe Simpson, 1/5 mocking his own followers.
Totally agree. Lol. Abe Simpson...that's hilarious.
I absolutely love your other people’s voices. It part of what makes your channel fun. And I mean that in a good way. Just my thoughts.
Like the buck knives boomer.
Once I’ve “Considered the source”, moving forward with just about everything is so easy. “To each their own” is a great thing! Those that spend too much time arguing their opinions, well…. Being able to appreciate and respect what (I guess notable) people say about things that people are into, even though one might not always agree upon, is a good healthy thing. As you stated, Opinel knives are a long time tested successful knife company, and whether you or I like them or not really doesn’t matter, especially to them. Cheers!!! 🔪🖤🤘🏼 🥁 Music kicks ass!! ALL MUSIC!!!
12:04 This sums up every bowling alley strike animation.
If a new Opinel with carbon fiber handle and Damascus blade were released, would MC automatically hate it or would he be open to something new?
Would an Opinel marketing campaign featuring mustached ninjas drinking Monster drinks carrying Opinels and with the Eurythmics playing in the background assuage his hatred?
Questions which may never be answered...
I like that I can see you talking with your hands in the reflection even though your alone while recording, lol.
The Opinel knife is like the double clutching of the knife world! It’s more steps than needed!
Opinel is not made to be fast :) it is made to cut french dry sausage and fromage xD
Forgetting to lock these Opinels, I've seen the worst knife accidents.
On of the fastest drops sold out MC was the Microtech Dessert OTF.
Just had to get an Opinel because of seeing it being used in Italy.
Have you considered trying only 1/4 of a monster before a video? 🤣 Haha, keep up the great content
As someone who loves wood (yeah, because THAT isn't easy to take out of context), I enjoy the look of some Opinels with more exotic handles. In reality though, I'm not very tempted to buy them when there are half a million new knives with cool materials and mechanisms and incredible fidget factor being released daily. Well, I have one Opinel I absolutely drowned in oil, that I take with me whenever I go camping. It does a fine job at the occasional bit of food prep and it's just about the easiest thing in the world to bring along.
I bought an Opinel no 9 on Amazon while I was watching this video. Purely because you showed it metal complex and it was $19. No other reason. For context, an SMF was in my other hand as I ordered it.
SMF?
I love the Opinel rage. It reminds me of something that was rusting out in grandpa's tackle box
I like the opinel from a history and work standpoint it's not a knife the enthusiest in me has good feelings about but the history nut and the tradesman in my likes it. It carves really well in most wood it's easy to keep sharp and clean and it'll do almost anything I ask of it.
Also on the transportation side opinel started off mostly selling to train workers as a good utility knife
It's treason then.
This opinel rage resonated with me so much😂
Your experience with the sebenza is mine with any Hinderer! But that’s what is great about this hobby! Everyone has valid opinions on what they prefer!
For me its Hinderer. I tried with skinny xm18. Reg xm18. Firetac. Eklipse. They just didnt move me so i moved them along.
The only time I used an opinel was food prep, borrowed another scout dads cutting up some salami and cheese. It was good or that task, without drawing any attention. It just looks like a common kitchen knife. I dont think water would be too good for the handle though.
I don’t carry my Opinel often but when I do I’m on horseback and wearing assless chaps and a cowboy hat
I've been carrying knives for 55+ years, mostly slip joint cheapies, never had a fancy knife, especially those snappy, fidgety, trick knives most people carry. After my father passed I got his flippity skippity knife that was always loose and eventually fell apart in my pocket. I then started to carry my father-in-laws big Schrade Old Timer until I broke the blade tip. At that point I realized that all these cheap knives are cheap. Instead of getting an expensive folder though I went with a small, full tang, fixed blade that works fantastically! 2 1/2 inches of blade does a great job for all my cutting, foraging needs. Not everyone's tune, but works for me.
If a person is in to cutting ability of their knives, the opinel is about as slicey as you can get. I don’t own one, but pocket jewelry isn’t my thing, so I understand the popularity of them. Those blades are super thinly ground. That’s why I love my Bailout and Delica so much. Had a couple Hinderer’s but they’re too thick to use as a knife compared to other options. But pocket jewelry is a real thing, and to each their own.
Funny to hear to say this because I don't swing with thumb studs or liner locks. Just don't like either mechanism at all. Flipper tabs? Great. Button locks? Yes, please! I think used Opinel tools in high school working with clay. Those tools do not have may favorite locking mechanism.
Project farm did a video that was really good on a bunch of knives. It was one if the only knives to have its lock fail
Right now, the most potent argument for buying an Opinel is to send you one for giggles. Seriously though, I really didn't like it until I held one. The handle is the most comfortable folder I have ever held. That being said, I never carried it as it really is slow to deploy. That thing is a workbench knife for me and it stays there instead of being a pocket knife.
Yep. The Opinel was my workbench knife, until I discovered Morakniv.
Came here looking at knives...left with some weird existential/philosophical thoughts
Dude. That music lightng up feeling story is the same as me!
By the way the Ozark Trail shaft lock (axis) knife is one of my funnest knifes.
The name and for $5.97 and funny reviews caused me to by four and gift three.
The blade was centered and still is. The small CRK 31 is sitting next to it.
the Cormorant in the reverse grip is an absolute trip to the E.R. and the entirety of the knife community is in denial of this
opinel can get very sharp and cut well (only the carbon steel ones and not for long) and are cheep. they dont carry well, the lock dont realy work while working with it, and if you dont deepfry the handle it atracts so much moisture you cant open it. maybe usefull as backup.
I like my small sebenza it’s a great outdoors knife. No bearings, easy to take apart to clean. I don’t need a fast deployment. Just shows we all buy certain knives for different reasons. They are to expensive I think. I get your reasons why you don’t care for it, and that’s ok. Thx knifeguy
That description of the opinel 😂
I haven’t purchased one but seeing all the hype around it that’s the same type of stuff I think when I see people flaunting them.
I think they look sorta classy but there’s so much other stuff I’d rather spend my money on. I don’t wanna have to pull the blade out with my finger tips in 2022..
I love carbon steel Opinel n have a biggun and a regular one. But I am nuts about this flipper button lock Knife center exclusive Gemini button lock in CPM 4V. Operating it is WAY , even ten times better than Opinel. Faster and less effort/ complexity.
If you loose the opinel you won’t feel bad about it. It’s good if you are eating a steak since the blade is thin. The other positives is if you have small children, it will take 30 min for them to open it so you have plenty of time to keep them from Getting hurt
28:45 had no clue what a “windsock” is until now 😂😂
I got an Opinel some time ago. I sort of like it, but mostly for the age of the company and design. I will say however that I don't really use it...curiously mine has a lanyard, and the handle is green, but other than that it's the same knife.
The opinel probably cuts better than anything else on the table. Just saying. Some things are just tools so we can keep the toys safe and pretty :)
"Iron?! What's wrong with rocks?!"
Lmao
It took this entire video for me to open and close my Opinel, but I did it menacingly and with pent up rage, I can guarantee you that.
LOL
Bone Thugs ~n~ Harmony & Benchmade knives. (Except the bugout). Two of my favorites in each category. That’s just how I roll. 🤷🏻♂️ I like everyone’s individualism. Love the videos MC. In the Knife review category you’re my favorite to watch.
Dang quick with it
The smartest thing I have heard lately is nothing is truly purely pure
As a young kid a rusty Opinel gave me a blood blister and I have hated them ever since. Every path is different.
But the opinel is really cheap and SUPER easy to customize. For example I acidwashed mine and flamed the handles. It’s also a great kids knife
I went through a Chris Reeve phase and I kind of know what you mean about the Sebenza. One thing though: the blade shape makes a big difference. To borrow your analogy- a drop point versus a insingo blade on the same knife is like the a rock tune played with an acoustic vs an electric guitar. The spirit of a Sebenza and the spark that it generates is a whole lot more appealing to me with a insingo blade. Likewise, I can’t fathom an Umnumzaan without a tanto blade. I freaking LOVE that thing- and I don’t typically like tantos. Incidentally- that Sebenza in your video is off the charts. Too bad it doesn’t have an insingo!
I wonder, as evidence of his reflection in that center knife, if we were to secure his hands behind him, would he be able to speak.??
I'm trying to count the number of times he says 'right?' per video......and I lose count after 50 or so .... lol. I love the consistent need for reaffirmation of the points being made 😂😅😂🤣😆
If I had .5 seconds to defend myself, I would use the car key in my pocket before screwing around with that thingy!
Haha hilarious, I use my opinel for cleaning small game and it's great, but I can't in good conscience carry it, I also can't grow the handlebar mustache that is required for that knife, love the channel
When you were talking about bands that you loved, I thought FOR SURE you were going to throw Nickelback into the lot. I still to this day like them, and cant figure out why so many people hate them!
I like them too, they just put out some new music 🎶
The opinel knife floats,if you drop it in water,takes a mean edge,and cost me about a dollar,this was one of very first knifes I owned,and is very durable for the cost and quality,when they are a dime a dozen,I'm less concerned about breaking or losing unlike an expensive knife, KUTGW
The opinel is the French version of a gas station knife
As somebody who doesn't hesitate to put Alan Jackson and Bring me the Horizon right next to each other on the same playlist, I heavily relate to the music rant.
Best Opinel review if I have ever seen one lol. Still have a couple on the shelf but.....
I've bought some Opinel and have filed them for a thumbstud and drilled clips and kept some completely basic. I would have much rather had one of these over the thick Swiss knife I had as a kid just for the nostalgia.
Gerber Sedulo is one that far exceeded my expectations
When the lines around the nails cracks up and get bloody, not even thumstuds and automatics knives can be used, the only solution in these occasions is Spyderco or designs alike 🖐️🖐️
I like the sound of your Dad. He reminds me of me, except for all the murders. No one touches my radio dial either or the thermostat! It's classic rock or start running. But not upstairs because I'll get ya.
You like to talk with your hands… the reflection on the middle lower knife is crazy.
Thank you for this! I got the point and totally agree but I’m thanking you for the laughs. Sincerely, this made my morning!
This is my experience with Benchmade, and cross bar style locks in general. I hate them lol. I don’t understand people’s obsession with a lock that seems to be basically inferior. The durability of a cross bar style lock is solely dependent on a couple of fragile little omega springs. I don’t mind having to take knives apart, but I don’t want to have to do it once or twice a year just to fix the lock so that it doesn’t turn into a portable non locking guillotine lol. I owned a bugout for six months and never carried it. Both omega springs snapped from couch flipping. And the coated s30v blade rusted while sitting in a Pelican case with D2 and 1095 blades that are in perfect condition lol. It’s just not my thing. Yeah, Benchmade has a great warranty…. I think it’s out of necessity to fix their crappy locks lol😂
I am taken aback all the times I read about broken Omega springs! I totally believe it, but I have never seen it on mine and other's knives. This is why I like 781 Anthem: coil spring version of cross bar lock. I remember my encounter with the first knife to have this lock and how it became me and brother's favorite. Today I am jaded against liner lock and frame locks. Really good with lockback knives and button locks, enjoyment!
My opinel is my small game prep knife, sharp, easy to sharpen, and dirt cheap so I won't care if I lose it in the woods... Only issue is, I've not managed to lose it in a decade!
That said, I really have no attachment to it, if I lost it I'd just use something else and probably never replace it, but until the I'll keep on using it, I mean, I already paid for it right?
The funny thing is, I really like my sebenza and my opinel. 😂
Opinel knives are purpose driven. Their mushroom/foraging knives are fantastic. However there's no reason for their other offerings imho.
Haha "he makes up voices for us inside his head!" So funny if i could sub again i would hahaha great awesome vid as always brother man
I think people need to love what they love and hate what they hate. The opinel has a crazy good grind and is made for old guys cutting meat while watching the sheep eating grass.
I knew it! You are a hands talker. Lol, the polish betrayed you.
I love the Openel for the easy custimization of it, and if I fuck up... oh well, 15 bucks is all i lose.
“Variety is the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavor.” People need to stop trying to convince or shame others for liking something they don't. There's room for everything.
And I thought I I was the only person that didn’t like sebenza’s! Granted I’m way to picky and usually find reasons not to keep knives. I feel like I’ve had every production knife under $300 and the pm2 and benchmade 940 are the only 2 I’ve kept for any amount of time.
As a musician I'm very conscious of the potential for what you described as far as thinking of oneself a purist. Honestly as I grow older I like even more and more diverse genres of music. That said, I still cannot get myself past the fact that I think the Golden Age of rap was the eighties and nineties, and the majority of what is out now sucks. I keep trying to give stuff a chance and not judge so much on my knee jerk preference, but more by the actual talent and production put into a piece. With the amount of music that is out right now, and the bar for publication being much lower with self-production, I have found a whole lot of good rap in this new generation In Pockets, and corners, of the internet. With all that consideration, new rap still sucks, lol. Now get off my lawn.
I would win 11 gentleman's duels before I open this this
My brother loves opinel. He even spend incredible amounts of time handmaking custom handles with fine wood for them. I make fun of him each time he draw his knife, but he has valid points. It's the lightest while having a full round handle, the super thin geometry makes it one of the best slicers, you can have them at any size convenient, the number 8 being the most popular, an 8cm is already a good size of blade. He never hesitate to do anything with his blade, from opening beers to pry, carve wood, scape etc. It is thin and may broke or chip, but who cares, the tool cost 8€...
I hate it, but yeah he makes fun of me with my precious knives while I am so careful with them, because of nice and expensive. Valid point.
500 mustaches oh my god I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep, I used to hate the Spyderco and never could understand why people loved them. The look grew on me and then I handled them and at that point I was sold. But yeah this is totally true for just about everything in life.
I'm still in the hate Spyderco group. Pricey and ugly if you ask me. And I get that "apple product" jealousy cause they get all the fancy scales.
To be honest just consider the price of an Opinel is less than 8 euro in France. Consider aswell that the traditional manufacture didn't change since more than a century
