Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Opinel No. 10 billhook knife used for?
It's used for agricultural and gardening tasks like grape picking, pruning woody shrubs, and cutting ties or string. The curved blade provides a hooking action for pulling branches.
How do you prune with an Opinel No. 10 billhook?
Hold the knife at the base of the branch and pull towards you, using the curved blade to cut. The double bevel allows cutting in both directions, making it efficient for pruning.
Why can't the Opinel billhook knife lock closed?
The curved blade prevents the locking mechanism from engaging in the closed position. This is a design limitation to accommodate the blade shape, but the knife can still be carried safely in its pouch or pocket.
Is the Opinel No. 10 billhook good for bushcraft?
While primarily for garden use, it can be used for light bushcraft tasks like cutting small branches or preparing kindling. However, there are other Opinel models more suited for heavy outdoor work.

Good but takes practice
It's a useful tool, but the curved blade is a bit tricky to control at first. Once you get the hang of it, it's very effective. The locking mechanism works well. I recommend it for light gardening.

Surprisingly sharp
I was impressed by how sharp it is out of the box. It slices through small branches easily. The handle feels good in the hand. I use it for pruning and it hasn't dulled quickly. Happy with my purchase.
