Opinel No. 12 vs CRKT Razel GT Frame Lock Knife Black

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

The portion of the blade that cut me, on both occasions, was the portion of the shorter chisel edge that meets the spine. The blade is sharp, there is no doubt about that. I'm not sure if it's the shape & size of my hands (wide palms with long fingers; my hands are truly larger than most, I wear a Men's glove size 2XL), or if it's how I'm forced to hold the knife with my large hands. But I do know that while I really like the design of this knife, I'll probably never get to find out how long either edge will last -- the risks for using this knife, for me, outweigh the benefits, especially when there are plenty of other knives to choose from

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

This one looks like it will work just fine. It is very sturdy, much more so that a typical picket knife. That is appropriate for my intended use. It looks very strong

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 yo...

The value is there again. I really wish i could have got my hands on a original john, graham piece, but they just weren't available, but i will note t...

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'd rather use an axe or a fixed blade knife.

Knit picks, it's tiny, right? Some people aren't going to like how heavy it is for how small it is. Definitely watch out for that edge up there. Do no...

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 arro...

It feels really good just enough to keep it very well balanced, especially for the blade thickness and size which i'll get into in a moment. Here now ...

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 a...

If i were to do it over again I would have bought the slightly larger model. The handles are ok. I would prefer to see g10 or micarta, but that would undoubtedly raise the price point. It does not hold an edge very well however anyone with rudimentary sharpening skills will have no problem maintaining an edge
