Knife porn thread

I could use my daughters round tip safety opinel instead?

P.s. to all, another [csb]. I remember now a few weeks back my daughters friends mum got her only £1 coin jammed in the pool locker, meaning she couldn't lock her kids clothes up whilst they swam. My No.7 rescued the situation then too. I regret not posting that here as a csb at the time.[/csb]

Reason that a knife is handy as an adult.

Sorry, pet hate of mine is damaging knife tips. But bonus points for a knife for you daughter.

Beef in the knife thread, who'd have thought it? I never have much to contribute here but it's always nice to check in on some like minded people discussing something they're interested in. It's a shame it's got to this!

I blame @rhb for not having a pound coin or ag least a snide pound coin or something. Grrrrr, Blooming rhb and his csb.

I discovered while drying it, that my pretty new Henckels chef knife had been dropped and the very tip was bent. It was catching on the drying towel. Think it must have clattered or been dropped in the sink.

Had to grind the tip off with sand paper and reprofile and re sharpen it.
Not a professional job, but will do a better job of it another time.

I once had a £1 coin, but it was a supermarket in France, so euros only.
Daughter went into meltdown, as she wanted to sit in a trolley.

A kind grandma gave us a Super U branded fake euro, and all was right in the world again.

What's the go to cheese and sausage cutting camping knife? Doesn't feel right using my pen knife for hygeine reasons, and want it to fold away and not serrated. Also nice and thin for ease of portion control.

I had a very nice picnic with a saucisson yesterday.

I used one of these. https://heinnie.com/real-steel-heinnie-vale/

I removed the clip from mine so it is very slim in the pocket. The blade is thick for durability reasons but it slices saucisson thinly.

I'm sure there are better knives for the job but I'm very pleased with mine. No wood handle so washes up nicely too. They do other blade shapes but I find the tanto-ish blade to be great for slicing cheese etc.

I always thought that opinel were the wine, cheese and sausage king. Good for grape sampling and scrumping also.

Though if it takes an edge and folds who really cares?

Opinel no.7 or no.8 as mentioned above.

Antonini Old Bear if you're only eating Italian Cheese & Sausage.

Opinel, that's what I was looking for. When googling folding knifes I was getting lots of very stabby looking ones.

Like that old bear, but if something needs a quote....

If I'd linked you to Heinne it's quote free..

Oh perfect, seems really reasonably priced!

Keep in mind that those ones lock so are in a slightly different category in legal terms.

Prefer the opinel as the locking tab is metal compared to the old bear.

Maybe the opinel nature (https://www.amazon.fr/Opinel-133080-Couteau-Jardin-N%C2%B08/dp/B0035HCLPC/ not listed on the opinel site that I can find) or the

The Opinels are readily available in Decathlon, which makes them a better choice in my opinion. You do get some strange looks at the checkout just buying a knife so might as well pick up an inflatable kayak while you're there.

And an ax and taupline

Surely one of these

the forum search engine isn’t coming up with a result. Probably given the time and volume of posts since.

Search works here.

It's annoyingly accurate and correct, making it slow.

It's not Google where it prefers to be approximate and fast.

So as long as you can recall the words to match it will definitely find them.

Worry not, Dear Leader, the genesis of this particular spat has been solved by @Mukashibanashi on the inglorious @RagnarHairybreeks thread in General. Hugs, kisses and apologies to follow shortly without doubt.

More worried about the poor postgresql engineers defamed by the suggestion that the search doesn't work.

Ease of use isn't the priority, but search does work.

Maybe people posting in a knife thread need to show a little more tolerance.

Opinels at dawn

Particularly as this self-selecting subset is, by definition, in possession of sharp pointy things.

I'll fight anyone who suggests that 'search' doesn't work, or dares to diss the poor postgresql engineers.
