Let me tell you, an Ettrick makes for a wonderful Birthday present! The Wrights are good for budget value, while Mays are a bit nicer overall. I'm really hoping to get an Ettrick in Bog Oak from Michael. If you check his Instagram, he has a stunning example in Damascus! Cheers, as always!

For what it's worth, the design and wooden handle of the Opinel lends itself to cheap and easy modifications. Cheap fun.

Do you have Josè da Cruz knives in your collection? They're quite affordable and interesting knives. I wonder how they compare to Opinel.

Not that they're bad knives but I just can't get on board with the Opies, they're just too generic looking for me, reminds me of an old carpenter's/woodworker's knife.

The Garden model Opinel comes with a different shaped blade and handle. There are also the 'Ebauches' which come with an unfinished 'Fat' handle ( not even a nail nick) which the buyer can then finish to their own design. I have both and they are sufficiently different to be interesting. Although to be honest the Garden Knife is not as comfortable in my hand as a No.9 standard Opie.

The No.9 is my favourite Opie. It suits my hand best but unfortunately even with the ring removed the blade is too long for our ridiculous legislation. The latest nonsense is that they want to totally ban the ownership of Machetes including even having one in your home. Hopefully the Forestry Commission and National Trust will point out how stupid this will be. Are you familiar with the Thrifty Kaniffy channel? He acquired his first AW recently and put a vid up two days ago. It might interest you. ( Spoiler, it's not an ettrick).

Our knife laws are also ridiculous. (Not as bad, but still) I really hope things change for the better! 😣 And yes, I watch TK. I however, did not see the Wright. Guess I'll go check! Cheers!
