Get where you're coming from with the blade shape. I'd rather it was a drop point, but I don't find it too troublesome. Good for saucisson and cutting mistletoe out of trees.
Overall though there is something wonderfully classic, comfortable and utilitarian about them. Savoir faire if you will.
Something like ltc's post is nice. Wasn't there somewhere in Sheffield that was being astroturfed a while back?

That's sort of what I was after...
I just think they're a very nice simple, minimalist design. Also as lovely as they are any time I've owned an Opinel I've found the pointiness of the blade a bit of a nuisance for me and I've always preferred a much straighter blade on any knife I've owned.
