I worked in a butcher shop where the owner had a temper i got good at dodging knives I once watched him throw an entire frenched rack of lamb in a rage it stuck into the drywall bone first
@@thisaccountisntreal107 some people still working there? Throwing chair or flipping table seems less dangerous. There is a case where a kid accidentally killed her brother by throwing a knife. Unfortunately it stuck on the neck, he couldn't be saved.
@@thisaccountisntreal107 For some reason, the part I'm focused on is health code. How is a butcher shop using drywall in the cutting area? I figured the walls have to be tile, steel, or something non-porous, and easily cleaned?
One of the best systems ever. I have had several folders open in pockets, in bags, when tossed to a friend, or dropped. Folders need to stay closed more than they need to open fast and easy.
It's really cool to see more knives with this sort of design, but Opinel is hard to beat. I've been carrying my opinel carbon #6 almost every day for years now and it definitely takes some breaking in but my bolster is very smooth moving now, I can easily flick it aside with my thumb and the blade is super sharp and thin and sharpens up real easy. I think it was like $10. My favorite knife along with my delica 4
Cold steel folders are what I generally take to the field (i.e. bush craft, bush lore, or hiking) as a secondary to my fixed blade. Some of the strongest locking folders on the market. I have a Twistmaster large as well as a medium.
I stumbled across this particular knife in a shoebox of knives that a coworker was wanting to get rid of. I purchased the whole box for $100. About 25 knives in all. Got a variety of everything. Cold steel, Camillus, Buck, and Kabar. Told the individual I would give him more money, he said No. He was happy that they would be well taken care of. This one is a great addition to my collection along with several others.
I have owned and used Opinel knives in Carbon Steel for decades. I always wondered why they did not have a locking groove on the ferule when in the closed postion. Glad they made the upgrade. I will have to check my collection to see if I have a newer model with the upgrade.
I am very happy with the Opinel, had them for well over 30 years. My first did not lock closed, when they came out with that feature I cut my ring to lock closed and still have that knife today. I would not kick a CS model to the curb but wouldn't pay collectors price to order one online.
I'm almost 73 years now & have been an avid collector & user of many brands & styles of fixed & folding cutlery, but my main passion has been for Cold Steel. In my "less educated" younger years, I bought 3 of the large clip bladed model & tried to baton with one, which ended up in disaster regarding the integrity of the twist bolster. After all of these decades, it still cuts like a demon, but I obviously can't trust the bolster lock to do its' job. Lessons learned.
When you baton a folder, it’s usually best done by opening the blade only 90° and tapping the spine of the blade. That way no pressure or impact is placed on the joint.
That's a cool poece of Cold Steel history, never knew they made that knife. I love my Opinel's have a NO. 6 and 8, the No. 6 is my most used knife out of about 50 others, it's my dedicated cheese knife and I use it daily:)
I went to Paris on business in 2019 and brought home a few Opinel N06's as gifts. I kept one for myself as a souvenir (I'm not a collector or knife hobbyist in any sense, I use it as a letter opener). I was today years old when this video showed me about the locking ring.
Had the larger clip point version for years now. I wasn't aware of the other versions. I have the CS and the opinels both and will be keeping both. The synthetic handled CS is better if I'm getting rained on. It's also a good piece of steel. I have #6 thru #12 opinels, and prefer at least a #7 or larger
That Cold Steel version is my fav Opinel example. I bought one back in the 90's and still have it. It came in D2 steel and was heat treated very well for the $20 I paid for it. I see the version I have is not on the sheet. I used the heck out of it and it is still holding up well.
My 1986 opinel no8 doesn't have a close lock...not sure when they added the feature...they haven't always had the close lock...but I carry one every day...best folding knife ever made imo!
The Opinal Outdoor series is a great pocket knife, not quite tactical but not with the wooden handle. They retail for €10 -€20 depending on stainless steel or Carbon, with no 7 & no 8 are best sellers, own both sizes
Been buying and using Cold Steel products pretty much since they started. Never owned a Twistmaster until a couple years ago when I found the large Twistmaster on a table at a gunshow for $10. Now it's in my collection.
Then this CS knife came out, the Opinels did not have the cut out in the bottom of the vibro lock either. That was not introduced by Opinel until the 2000's. I have a Kershaw model 2950, Twistlock, which is their take on the Opinel. It is also from the 90's and does not have the cutout in the bottom of the twistlock either.
When I heard about the lock-closed feature a few years ago I said "brilliantly simple". I bought my first and last Opinel in 1994... my first knife with great cutting geometry but it just never appealed to me to carry much after the first year.
I do remember you showing this one before. It’s an older Cold Steel I’d like to get my hands on. The Swift, the Paradox, and the Black Rock Hunter are other discontinued models I’d like to find.
I have all 6 of these Twistmaster models; had 4, but tracked down the last small tanto and last small drop point in 2004. They still had the factory grease on the blades. Very sharp knives out of the box, and perfect truck or picnic knives. I have a boxed set of 10 Opinels bought 20 years ago or so, and have bought a half dozen specialty ones since, so maybe have 16-17 of them. But I tried a new one last year and the blade came installed upside down! Terrible quality control; I returned it and don’t think I’ll buy any more.
I have a small Portugal MAM knife since 1870 it has a little fork on the back it looks just like the opnal I do have one of those to in a leather case. I use my Portugal MAM knife pretty much every day or a lot to cut snack foods or pop a hole in my box juice.
I've got the largest from this series, bought it cheap from someone who didn't know what he had. Great folder, insanely light for its size. It's not a heavy duty knife but a great slicer. Gotta take care of the blade though, it WILL rust.
I may actually finally buy an Opinel now … been into knives 🔪/ collecting and using for years but never got one ☝️- thanks Jeff for the detail in the video :)
Never heard of this twistmaster, but I like it a lot. To date, the only CS I've owned and still own is their 1911 which is pretty nice for the price. Just got that exact Opinel though and mine is not very sharp unfortunately so I'm looking into how to sharpen.
Opinels are legal to carry in some locales where conventional folding knives are not, because they can't be quickly opened and locked with one hand. Perhaps the laws have been liberalized in the last couple of years, but as of about five years ago this style of knife was the only locking folding knife legal to carry in New York City. I opted to carry a fixed blade instead, since it deployed faster, but I would have been able to carry an Opinel with a larger blade. I was not aware of the Cold Steel version, which is a neat alternative. Those bumps on the rotating collar are useful! The Opinel collar can be hard to turn if your hands are wet or greasy.
If I'm not mistaken the Carbon V Cold steel knives were made for them by Camillus. I know I bought a cold steel throwing knife at a ysrdsale a year or two ago and some folks in the Cold steel subforum ob BF's told me Carbon V was just 1095 and the Carbon V knives were made by Camillus.
All true, also true that they were some of the best knives made. I have the Trailmaster and Kukri from the 90’s, amazing blades. Cold Steel haters are just trolls and whiners.
I also owned 1 of those in 90s early 00s. I'd forgotten about it till seeing your video. I've got one of the okapl copies. Too big to carry. Atleast to me
always buy opinel knives when i see them at flea markets or yard sales, they are great little knives and they're cheap, i think the most i ever paid for one was 5 bucks and that was only because the collar was rusted but i fixed that
The older models didn't have it. About half of what I have are 80's vintage, and the don't have a lock closed notch. I would imagine it's like everything else, because somebody somewhere is less than coordinated, and cut their finger and sued. After some years and use they sometimes get loose and will open slightly in the pocket.
I purchased small and large back in the day. Still have them. Stiff to rotate collar. Tried to patina the blades with Cocal Cola and ended up with mottled blade. I wish they had been more committed to keeping the No. 8 knock-off in the line-up. i think the players committed long term to the marketplace would serve fans by keeping small batches in stock - computers make it very easy to locate stock by bin numbers - no need to keep them in order alphabetically or numerically. Never know about the tanto or the different blade shapes, mine look like yours.
You know Opinel isn’t the original of that type of penny knife . The oldest knife company in France is Nontron. they made much more interesting penny knife then Opinel ,witch is more of an mass produced version of it
As a french guy who handle many Opinel, I can't honestly say I don't want to own one to try it and tinker with it. Also Carbon V purely the name is genius, it's evok so much a blade profil in the geometric form of the V ^^
Nobody who's ever bought an Opinel is sorry. They've got personality, character. There's something classic about them. They make you want to hike and whittle. You fine excuses to use them. Plus, you can put an edge on them that makes a scalpel look like a butterknife. I prefer the Twistmaster locking system, but the handle's gotta be wood. I've put a chequered grip on my wooden Opie, and it works pretty well.
The people who don't appreciate Opinal have never owned carbon examples. The carbon steel versions are hands down the best-value knives in the world bar none. Everyone needs at least one but realistically the idea is they are so stupid cheap you can buy half a dozen and have one in the car, one in the pickup, one in your gear bag, one in the kitchen (as someone else said they make a great cheese knife) etc. The carbon ones can be razor sharp with very little work and I do mean razor as in you can shave with one if you have the right sharpening gear and know how to use it. If you are serious about knives having a couple of Opinels is as necessary as having a set of Forge de Laguiole rams head steak knives in your cutlery draw but a whole lot cheaper.
As much as I love knives, I've just never understood this style of knife (from any brand). They are charming in their own way, but pretty fragile looking. Seems to be for letter opening. More fashion than function.
Opinel are extremly durable, time has proven it, i have several from my grandfathers that have 3/4 of the blade worn off and still are perfectly usable. marine fishermen in france have used it for years
@@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo I'll definitely say I'm just speculating, because I've never held one. I would definitely agree the twist master appears more solid than the opinel. It's just a design my brain doesn't trust unless I actually used it to carve out some wood or something.
Yeah, everything is awesome according to everyone, this is awesome, that is awesome, everything in the world is awesome. What a tired old word, it means nothing now because everything is awesome, 🤪
Dude, you don't grab the polish part on the lock ring of an Opinel, you just put your thumb in the slot and push right or left, to lock and unlock the blade. The polishing isn't a negative but a great thing to have, because it makes the ring turn easily, adds comfort, helps with rust and also looks beautiful!! The way the Cold Steel is made, yes, you have to grab the outer part, where they've created those notches, to help te user turn the lock. Opinel is the original, no copy can be better or as good, it will always be inferior. Opinels have a full flat grind on the blade and a crazy cutting geometry, which is another characteristic of the Opinel, that no other knife has....unfortunately, because that's how all utility knives should be made. Thick blade or geometry, means the knife sucks. Convex, means luxury!! Even Machetes are made thin for some reason.Marketing has turned people to appreciate what's wrong and not whats proper.
My aunt worked at Cold Steel for a while. She liked it and said she’d occasionally duck as throwing knives in the offices where somewhat normal. 😅
Sounds like my kinda office lol

that missing notch is nothing a dremel couldn't handle.

Idk what they do to those openel knives but they're ways stupid sharp.
Opinel's appeal is in it's thin cutting geometry
👍🏼I like it but I’ll stick w/opinel. :) pretty expensive now on the ebays.
All the awkwardness of an Opinel with none of the grace.
Do they still make the Twistmaster? I don't think they do because I can't find it but I wish they still made it.
Nope, they don't. This video is also the first time I heard of it! At lease you can still get Opinels.
"Twistmaster" ...LOL thats so ColdSteel
Good knives for a lot of things.

i'll have to get caught up
I just one a clip point xl twistmaster after a couple years trying to get one for a price i was willing to pay .kinda want a opinel no 13 too lol
I have an Opinel 13 and it's a totally ridiculous but awesome good time.
Not sure. If they had placed a thumb stud there i would think otherwise.
Huh. Never seen that before. It's not a picnic without an Opinel.
Very cool 😎👍 always wanted one of these
Once again Cold Steel doesn't steal but "improves" something no one asked for.
Kershaw made one too❤
I didn’t know I wanted that
Take a look at the Italian made Antonini old bear! It’s like a posh version of the opinel… so nice!
Opinel only added the lock close feature in 2000, so the Cold Steel is an actual copy.
I have one of the large Coldsteel Twistlocks .. think I paid about $13 .. WAY back when ... LOL
opinel makes a survival knife with a few other tools built into the handle.
Are you sure you’ve shown the cold steel before? Because I’ve been watching your videos for the better part of 10-15 years and don’t remember it.
My Opinel gets more use than most of my expensive knives

Opinels have a full flat grind on the blade and a crazy cutting geometry, which is another characteristic of the Opinel, that no other knife has....unfortunately, because that's how all utility knives should be made. Thick blade or geometry, means the knife sucks. Convex, means luxury!! Even Machetes are made thin for some reason.Marketing has turned people to appreciate what's wrong and not whats proper.
