There is one problem with Opinels, if you carry it in your pocket and you get soaking wet through of a day, the wood swells, jams the blade and you can't open it, if you need an emergency knife don't rely on an Opinel.

Good cheap knives, fixed blades Moras are worth a look there about a tenner, folders, and legal to carry, Trevor Ablett are good and British made by hand,

A friend of mine used to make knives and made me this in return for prunning his tree.

don't know if this will be any use but it might at least give you insperation. i made this from a worn out old diamond circular saw blade. making your own you can customise it to the purpose you intend to use it for.

My everyday knife is a Buck 110 lock knife,with a leather belt pouch and pencil sharpener. It was given to me 12 years ago while on work experiance in scotland and it still holds a good edge. just done a quick google and there about £55.

if you decide to give it a go first think about what you are goin to be mostly using it for then draw a design on paper that best suits that purpose, consider blade length, shape, angle etc. remember handle design will play a part in the ease of use of the knife...... i could go on. cut out your design and lay it on your chosen piece of metal then cut and shape. something like a dremmel is ideal for this. try not to let the metal heat up too much as it can alter the stucture and strength of the metal. i'm trying not to get too technical and detailed but i hope this gives you an idea:thumbup1:

 

ps look at other designs for ideas and be patient when making it:001_smile:
