Reviews for Opinel pocket knife No. 6 Luxury Range, stainless steel, walnut wood

Monday, 23 September 2019

The Walnut handle looks really nice and the Opinel No. 6 is a practical size folding knife, perfect for using in the kitchen or in the great outdoors. Personally I don’t use this one as I have a standard No 6 that forms my main working knife, where a fixed blade is not practical.

Updates, dispatch, packaging and delivery very good. The knife is good value for money, a great size, is lightweight and functions as advertised, but I'm a bit disappointed with the overall finish. The blade is sharp, but so are the other edges of the blade and handle. This is useful for striking a ferro rod on the blade spine, but uncomfortable everywhere else - including the locking mechanism edges, which you grip whenever you lock/unlock. The locking mechanism rotation is uneven, catching on the blades poorly peened rivet ends. The wood of the handle is walnut, but mine has a dark finish, which spoils the natural colour and grain of the wood. Every corner of wood on the handle is pointed, which digs in when sitting. I have big paws and found there wasn't enough space for my thumb and finger to get a decent grip on the blade, which made for fiddly opening. I removed a bit of material and now it's great - obviously, this may not be a problem for all. I know this all sounds pretty negative, but it's a great knife for the money. All these issues were resolved with a bit of elbow grease and I could've lived with all the issues mentioned, if I weren't fussy. Perhaps others will just want something you don't have to mess around with, but I enjoyed the process of getting it there. I may buy more and do them up for friends personalised gifts

Brilliant knives. Very sharp and looks great. Payed a bit extra to get the 'luxury walnut' range, but sadly i see nothing of that luxury. I own a larger version in plain walnut and the grain looks exactly the same.

Handy, small, perfect for camping and basic day-to-day use. One star off because the handle feels strangely light, making the whole knife feel off-balance. All in all, great value for money.
