Okay but needs maintenance
The carbon steel rusts easily if left damp. I wish it came with a protective coating. But for the price, it's fine.

Traditional and reliable
My grandfather used Opinel knives, and now I see why. The blade is razor sharp out of the box and holds its edge. The wood handle is comfortable. I've given these as gifts to my friends.

Good value
I got this on sale for $10. It's an excellent deal. The knife is sturdy and cuts well. The only downside is the blade needs oiling to prevent rust.

Smaller than expected
I thought it would be larger, but it's a good size for smaller hands. The blade is sharp. Just not what I imagined.
