Old Opinel №8 pocket knife restoration.
I found an old folding French Opinel knife and decided to restore it. I removed the rust from the blade and polished the blade. The handle was cleaned and varnished. I hope you liked my restoration.

I agree 100%. If this knife came into my possession, I would have converted the red oxide into black oxide, given it a sharpening, and left it at that. Opinels are wonderfully simple knives, and they still make and sell them cheaply today almost exactly like they did 100 years ago; no need to make one look pretty, unless you really want to. The wear&tear on a well-used Opinel isn't so much a blemish as it is inimitable character.

@joachimmahoudeaux8619 Год назад

As a french I was expecting to see a REALLY rusty opinel, then first seconds « ok so the blade still opens… the ring still moves, that’s a perfectly working Opinel what’s wrong with it 😂 » You know, many of us old french boomers have sometimes tens of rusty opinels laying down in our garage or kitchen drawers, when you can’t open it or turn the ring, it’s so cheap you buy another one hahaha

@jackspratt44 Год назад

Oh I know.. dude wasted more time and effort on this thing... Not worth it. You could literally take a piece of rusted steel. Then sand it down. Then draw up a knife configuration on paper then cut it out and then paste it to the metal and then angle grind the shape out then put it on a belt sander and then shape it and do a heat treat and then youve got a knife of your own creation .... Seriously... I'm not great with making things but I can make a not so great knife blade that is sharp enough to do what I need it to do. But most knives are inexpensive and most are of good everyday carry quality. I myself have found dirty rusted knives and all I did was clean up the blade a bit and sharpen them. I like the look of a knife with character. You just take some clear coat spray paint and cover the blade and spray the rest of the knife. The knife stops rusting further and you you've got a cool and nifty rusty knife with a clean blade. Now if the handle is bad you make a new one and clean up the blade. Don't sand out the divots or puts in the rusted blade. Just sand it up enough to get the bulk off and cost it with oil and heat it up and cook some oil into a bit. Wipe off the burnt stuff and keep in trucking.

No Frenchman worth his salt is ever without an Opinel in his pocket ! They are cheap, functional and efficient tools, and can still be bought in either carbon steel or stainless. From time to time I take mine to the village market where for the price of a cup of coffee, an artisan restores its razor edge. A great restoration, clearly showing the workings of this clever folding knife, and iconic piece of French culture. Thanks!

Boiled linseed oil is the way to go instead of varnish. Same for every type of handle, whether it's a knife, an axe or anything that might be handled when wet without getting slippery. Opinel themselves recommend linseed oil for their handles.

@sterkriger2572 8 месяцев назад

Linseed oil isn’t that great for waterproofing. One technique that I saw that works great is to dilute varnish until it get fluid like an oil and apply it. You get the benefits of varnish but with the looks and feel of linseed oil. Backyard Ballistics use this in one of his rifle restorations

That's the one we have - I inherited it from my late father. My wife uses it every time she needs a sharp knife: it has the most comfortable handle of all the knives we own, and it's nice and light. Have to take care cleaning it - leave it wet and the carbon steel will rust - but on the other hand it's no effort to sharpen. I'm glad you restored it to the same look, just making it as good as new. There's another guy restored an Opinel who tried to tart it up, I didn't like that at all. It's a traditional French farmer's or shepherd's knife, been around for more than a century, perfect as it is ☺.

Magnifique travail ! Félicitations. Nous sommes sensibles, nous Français, qu'un objet made in France, soit ainsi mis en valeur par un anglo-saxon, un bel hommage; en effet, nous ne nous sommes pas remis de notre défaite à Waterloo qui a entrainé une domination de l'empire anglais sur l'empire français. Nos deux empires dorénavant n'existent plus et comme deux vieux concurrents, deux vieux ennemis qui se sont longtemps combattu, maintenant que la concurrence et les armes se sont tues, nous pouvons maintenant nous enrichir de l'apport de nos deux très vieilles nations et savourer nos qualités immenses - ce que nous n'avons jamais cessé de faire mais l'orgueil nous empêchait de le faire dans le combat - dans l'apaisement. Voilà ce que m'inspire la restauration d'un opinel par un anglais. Même si, comme le dit un compatriote, nous possédons tous des Opinels usés, même plus usés que cela, comme celui de la vidéo. Dans ce cas, nous en rachetons un et, celui usé, nous sert dans le jardin, ou pour le bricolage, pour de basses tâches. Merci d'avoir lu mon ressenti nostalgique mais cet hommage d'un anglais vis à vis de cet objet très français m'a ému même si ce n'était pas le souhait et l'objet de l'auteur de cette belle vidéo.

@alexisdufrenoy1573 Год назад

Opinel is an old french tradition from Savoy. It exists since 1890 and the locking ring (called "virole" in french, a word I never heard in another context than to designate the locking ring of an Opinel knife) was its main innovation at the time. Traditionnaly, the handle is made out of wild cherry wood and the blade from carbon steel. Nowadays, it's beechwood and several versions using stainless steel exist. If you're french and love the outdoors, chances are you own an opinel. They are not expensive and really handy. Or maybe a Laguiole, another french folding knife, which is more expensive.

@MaximRecoil 6 месяцев назад

It's not a very strong locking method, since it depends on the strength of the wood in that area.

Vintage 1980s. Not a pocket knife, but a folding knife for food prep for camping. At least that's how it was sold to me. Not a great design. The movable "locking" twist collar was right against the sharp edge of the blade, and when you take the knife out of your bag to use it, it is hard to open because the blade has been pushed down tight into the wooden handle. But you did a great job on it!
