Nothing against Opinel, merely hyperbole to call them "cheap pieces of garbage" and meant in relation to super-duper knife pictured above. Sorry.

When selecting a camping knife, I go for the cheap pieces of garbage like Opinel, partly because I call on it to accomplish so little, also I fear and halfway expect that it may eventually be lost or confiscated by TSA agents.

Come to think of it, I may have inherited my Opinel 15 years ago from girl friend's ex-husband (he left in a rush), so maybe I DO have something against Opinel, slightly, but nothing rational.
