Opinel knives are a work of art. Simple and elegant. Thanks for posting this, I couldn't figure out how to take mine apart. It just needs a little TLC.
Thanks for the video...I would like to take the blade off mine but was curious about the pin. you can re-use it? Is it not too short after having filed it to take it out?
Nice video, nice clean up. Cutting paper is a reasonable test of sharpness, and the Opinel blade has good geometry for cutting. To really show sharpness, cut thin slivers off the paper.
très instructif le limage au tout début c'est pourquoi exactement ? Il va falloir que je m'achète une pince à circlips pour la virole tournante, peux tu me rappeler le nom de la grosse pince universelle pour retirer la goupille stp, merci
That knife would have been much so much better if you had simply cleaned it, oiled the handle oil rubbed the blade, and then restored the edge. You cannot buy years of patina. If you wanted a new opinel you should have just bought one, they're cheap.
Bonjour. La virole est normalement parfaitement ajustée pour fonctionner avec le couteau, il ne faut donc pas essayer de l'agrandir ou la rétrécir. Vous pouvez cependant y mettre une petite goutte d'huile, pour qu'elle glisse mieux.
