I wonder if a no. 6 is just too small or if it would actually be a better size than the no.7
I have a no.6, I use the no.7 more often.

Thanks. That was the sort of subjective thing I was after.
You can look at the measurements for a gauge, but a "yeah, it's a bit small" is sometimes much more useful.
Now to try and see what else I can avoid buying from knivesandtools to rationalise the postage... With winter coming and a Silky is tempting.

Does anyone have/has used a Opinel no.6?
I've got an inox no.7 that I took on a bike tour and want to keep stock as it has a sentimental attachment. But looking at it today, would quite like to do a mod with a carbon equivalent to make a small jeans pocket style pocket knife... if that makes sense. Sort of standard SAK size.
However, looking at the sizing, plus the way the locking mechanism always takes up space I wonder if a no. 6 is just too small or if it would actually be a better size than the no.7
