Consumer Reports

The Opinel No. 12 Folding Saw has a simple, elegant design and was one of the highest quality saws we tested. Weighing in at under 4 ounces, this lightweight saw comes with an attractive and ergonomic French beechwood handle. The carbon steel blade comes in either a 5-inch or 7-inch length, designed to cut up to 3.15-inch or 4-inch diameter branches. The Virobloc safety ring designed by Marcel Opinel in 1955 locks the blade in both the sawing and folded positions. You might be pleasantly surprised at how quickly this small saw slices through the wood; at 20 seconds per 2-1/2-inch diameter branch, you'll have a fire going in no time.
Although it is a bit pricey for such a small saw, we were impressed by the high quality of the Opinel. The blade's length somewhat limits its use, so it might not be the best choice if you're looking to cut larger-diameter pieces of wood. However, if you're looking for a lightweight, compact saw to take on a backpacking or hunting trip or to do some simple yard work around the house, look no further.

 The blade came sharp, but as a professional sharpener, I made it sharper up to 10,000 grit utilizing a Chocera stone. The blade length is more like a #10 Opinel - which is fine for me. The locking mechanism works well - even better than wood handle Opinels which opens with a bit more resistance. The lanyard works well

 Handle grip texture is comfortable. I have the green handled one.  Negatives: The metal used for the lanyard / gut hook is pitifully poor. I tried improving the edge with a DMT diamond rod getting it just marginally better

 As is, it still won't even cut paper, making it useless. I would STRONGLY recommend using another metal instead of what was used. Carbon steels or other stainless / inox would be a marked improvement. This metal markedly degrades the quality of the knife

Gut hook is inadequate otherwise good

I like an opinel 12 carbone because they are a joy to sharpen but stainless is available. Is it a chef knife? No. Does that matter? Be Hell no. I like it because it folds away (I don’t wanna deal with a large fixed blade in a pack), it gets the job done well enough and if something bad happens to it I’ll get another

Hi there! I’m certainly no subject matter expert on knives or blades. I’m a home cook who goes backpacking/camping, and I’m looking to get a good do-everything knife that I can use for chopping, cutting, dicing, etc. for nicer outdoor meals that aren’t dehydrated/freeze-dried. 

In terms of cost, I’d ideally like the best bang for my buck. Sometimes outdoor conditions/circumstances can be hard on equipment, and I don’t want to have to coddle a knife or feel like my life is over if I have to use a non-ideal surface for cutting. On the other hand, I’d certainly want something dependable and good quality since my only backup would be my 3-inch pocket knife. 

Thanks for the help!

I’m a home cook who goes backpacking/camping, and I’m looking to get a good do-everything knife that I can use for chopping, cutting, and dicing meats, veggies, fruits, and root vegetables for nicer outdoor meals that aren’t dehydrated/freeze-dried. Things like Western vs. Japanese style/handle and super specific length aren’t very significant to me, as I’m more interested in utilitarian function, and I’m sure both Western and Japanese styles have plenty of options in many lengths. However, I would think that stainless steel would be preferred material?</p>

Looking for an all-around chef’s knife for outdoor cooking

Definitely NOT an Every Day Carry. Weight 5.3 oz, length 6", no clip. I am putting it with my camping gear

Typical Opinel excellent quality.

 Now this guy up here also has that Sandvik steel, which is a great steel. You know, particularly at the price point, much better than like eight CR thirteen MOV and, I would even say better than most SH you're gon na find out there. So it's definitely a step up. You'Re, looking at three point: nine five inches overall full flat grind: we've got a ninety degree spine on here, the nail Nick to open it and there's a really well-designed, really nice slicer

 You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these. If you are really interested in these and want to give it a shot, you do see some sort of value with that gut hook. I do not at all, or you are interested in other open else, I'll throw in some of my favorite open, LSAT, really inexpensive prices in the links below over Amazon

 So that's pretty heavy for a knife, particularly in comparison like a folding knife compared to these guys over here and you're, looking at over 6 inch handle made out of a polymer material that is very grippy very ergonomic really like the air goes on it, but it Is ginormous just to run in some perspective here here? Is the more cans Bowl love this fixed blade? This guy weighs four point: nine ounces. This guy weighs like five five point, one so same weight for the entire package, I'm talking with the sheath, the more cans Bowl and the more is gon na have a longer blade and a more natural sized, more well balanced handle just to give us some perspective. This is a k-bar Becker BK to the handle on this open. L is longer than a Becker BK, which is just crazy the size

 For me, the design is not there for me. Yes, the blade is a great slicer, so I would just go get a number 12. You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these

What Happened!? Opinel Explorer No.12

It's a big knife and a little unwieldly. I tried batoning it for some kindling. It'll do in a pinch but I think for processing wood I&#39;d rather use an axe or a fixed blade knife.

Good lightweight camp duty knife

 I love it for a wooden handle. You know knife you look at it and you think because of the wooden hand, you're gon na, say man that just doesn't look like it's very strong. Well guess what this thing's pretty strong! This is a tough knife. They give you enough meat inside this wood to have a very, very strong hold on this thing

 Looking. It'S got that beautiful old-school. Look to it with the you know, with the solid wooden handle. I think this thing is just fantastic

 If you ask me all right so now we got all those chunks there. So now what I want to do is just take them all off. Take them all off, got ta, make arrows, got ta, make darts got ta, make Spears got to make pit spikes got ta, make anything that you need sharp and wooden, and this guy is gon na. Do it right here and uh man I'll, tell you what I am having a little bit of wobble a little wiggle in the blade? Oh, you know what that's my fault

 Let'S see a CDO opinel cut yeah! That'S pretty simple! Let'S see, let's see if we can use a harder rope, some of this nylon stuff, let's see what we got here, I don't think it knew that it was. It was hard. This knife is just so good. So now I have four strands and what I want to do is just push straight through and straight through it goes

Opinel #12 knife review

 I have no problem with that, but a knife. This way you can see. It'S pretty big, and this sticks out the end here and my hand is all palm no fingers and you can see it's a pretty big handle and it's rubberized, and it makes for a very good grip. And i like the way that they put the pattern on there kind of a woody pattern on

 They also make a lot of other stuff that i didn't know about. I have a folding saw from them, which works great and is in my bushcraft tool, pouch and of course, i own a number. Eight and it's always on my belt, so let's have a look and see why nobody that i saw who reviewed this really wasn't that impressed with it, and i need to know why. So, let's have a look see and let's see if we can figure it out

 We know the ferro rod works and maybe a 10 peg or a notch or two. So let's do that sorry, coffee, break! It'S been about an hour and that's still hot yay for stanley, so i cleaned it off, it's a little thin, but well, oh yeah. So what do you think yeah? This is pretty soft wood, let's cut through it. Do we want to bludgeon? With this thing, it's meant to be a survival knife

 Very loud - and i think they did say it's 110 decibels, which is very loud, so there's your help me whistle or alerting, whistle or whatever you want to call it. Let'S see how that fire starter works. This is a stainless steel blade and i did notice in a lot of the comments on reviews and things like that. They said stainless

The shape of the handle provides a great grip as well, with two very slight depending angles or you might call them quasi-choils on either end of the handle lock my pointer, middle, and ring fingers in place. The knife also has a bit of a badonkadonk, with a larger handle that extends past the downward angle of the choil, giving you an even more secure grip on the knife itself. That some extension also houses the lanyard hole.

I would prefer a positive action on the knife throughout, but when opened it doesn’t feel insecure.

So how about the steel? S30V is a tried and true workhorse. Developed by Crucible with the help of legendary knife maker Chris Reeve, intended to hold a fine sharp edge for a long time, as well as having a very healthy amount of chromium making it extremely rust resistant. 

Benchmade Proper 319 Review | BladeReviews.com

 The blade is made from CPM s30v for a high level of wear and corrosion resistance, and this is going to give enhance performance over traditional, non alloy steels such as 1095. The handles on this particular version are green canvas micarta and are finished in a matte texture. The 319 is built on a stainless steel liner framework and, as you can see, the interior of the liners here are milled out to reduce weight and this knife comes in at just over 2 ounces. So this is going to be a great light

 It also still retains enough point for utilizing in piercing tasks. It opens via a nail nic and you can use that either via the traditional method as a nail neck or as extra traction for a pinch grip open.
