OMG...I have 2 deliveries inbound and they just ended up arriving in my town early!  BOTH are scheduled to be delivered today!!  Hard to beat a Double NKD!!  Stay tuned, I won't spoil the spoils just yet!!

I'm pretty sure anybody who's been in a camping or backpacking store has seen these knives before. They're made by Opinel in France & have been around for over 130 years. I've ignored the things for years, but eventually bought one. Then I bought two more. There's nothing fancy about these knives. They just cut stuff & are excellent slicers. If you bend the blade, just straighten it out & keep cutting. Break it? Get a new one. They're cheap. The one shown below is a #07 & was $16. Carbon & stainless are both the same price. After I got this one, I bought a #06 & a 08.

Folding knives don't get much simpler: A blade, a piece of wood, metal ring, and a pin to hold it all together. They come in 11 sizes, and in carbon or stainless steel. Sizes 6-12 come with a lock ring. I think a complete set, from #02 to #12 costs $130. #08 is the most popular size world wide. The one  below, shown with my SAK for comparison is a #7. The Opinel weighs 1.13 oz or 32g, while the SAK comes in at 2.47 oz or 70g; so they're very lightweight, and you hardly know they're even in your pocket. 

All vintage U.S. steel found in Goodwill.  I probably paid less than $20 for all of them in total.

Case, Imperial, EKCO, and WEAR-EVER.

Anyone have any ideas on recruiting new members?  I got permission to post an ad on the Knife Addicts Anonymous group on Facebook...34K members but not even 1 like or comment!  I have also deployed every SEO trick I know to get the forum on Google search faster but it takes time! 

There has to be a way to spread the word without every free forum admin losing their mind and banning me, LOL!  I swear, these free groups and pages are killing traditional forums by the day!

Help spread the word, guys!

I always have one of these Alox SAKs in my pocket. The Alox have aluminium handles, and all of mine are of the two row variety, so they're slimmer than the SAKs with all the extra stuff that I never use. It makes them a bit more pocket friendly than the bigger red handled ones. You hardly know they're there. No matter which one is in my pocket, it gets used every day. 

The Pioneer has been in my pocket almost every day for two years.

This one is called the Electrician. It has a sheepsfoot blade that's pretty useful.

This one is the Cadet. It's slightly shorter than the other two & has a file. My wife never carried a knife before, but she likes this one & carries it. I had to get another.

---

I don't know how I got two pics of the Cadet, but........

This is the knife I always have on me...even if I am carrying other knives!  Victorinox Hiker Swiss Army Knife.  Everything you need without the fluff!

This knife is a beast!  strong and solid!  I'll be buying more from Off Grid!

Sorry to change it up but I decided to go with a new Theme that is light years better than the first one!  This one has a dark mode and maybe even a few other color options!  Other wise, it is light weight and fast!  I'll work on a help page toake sure every one can figure out the buttons and stuff!  I hope you enjoy the new boards and please help spread the word!
