It shows! The Opinel has a lousy locking mechanism, is clumsy to open (especially if you're left-handed) and the wood swells if wet making it stiffer to open/close. This is a knife worth passing up unless you want to cut yourself.
- tenfourwookie 5y agoAnd it looks like a butter knife.
- giardini 5y agoNo, it has a pointed tip unlike that of a butter knife, which usually has a dull and rounded point. An Opinel knife appears in the movie "Paris, Je t'aime". In the segment ("Place des Fetes") an unnamed assailant draws his knife, clumsily unlocks it and turns away from the camera to stab his victim.
