What makes French carbon steel so good?

>cheaper
>reduce the need for additional storage
>polishing as well as removing the stains, even giving protection to some degree
been doing this for years, blade is shinnier than a nigger teeth seen in a tunnel

Why? Do you care if it looks stained?

i used to collect knives and posts on knife hobbyists sub-forum.
Well groomed Opinel knife is that item one must have to fit in

>cheaper
Vinegar is like 18 cents per liter. Instant coffee is cheap as shit too.
>storage
>he doesn't have room to store a plastic tray
m8, I...
>polishing as well as removes stains
Hard pass, but you do you.

thank you Napoléon III for annexing us, we would have been very ashamed if shitalians claimed the opinel was theirs

That Knife is shit, i nearly sever my small finger with that knife because the blade isn't locked

>opinel ? Sorry, but Laguiole is the patrician's choice here

I know th alloy is Swedish, but what makes you think they get the actual steel from Sweden too ? (legit question)

It is locked. You need to twist the ring at the end to lock though. The fault was obviously entirely a fault in the user.

>Sweden today is one of the largest sources of iron ore in Europe, with approximately 92% of Europe's iron and 5% of the world's iron reserves.

Ouch I know a cradle that fell down the stairs

disgusting, something must done about this

why are finns obsessed with tiny unaesthetic knives? This has to be a cultural reason, because Americans love their Bowie knives, Brits love trench knives, and Germans love comically long grossemessers

Based savoisien.
I literally have that one in my pocket rn. Like every savoisien

The have BFB (Big Finnish Benis) and don't need to compensate. Everyone knows that knives are penis surrogates.

because I know where from and the exact routes they transport the steel

used to toil there

What the hell do you need a Bowie knife for unless you're exploring a jungle or something.

I have a ka-bar that I use as a letter opener

That's pretty cringy desu. How did you get a loicence though?

This is how I imagine you

It is pretty cringy I admit, I really wanted one so bought it before I fully realised how useless it was.
At least I use it for opening packages.

I'll be honest I do have a machete lying around that I bought because it looked cool

sounds like my logic buying a bayonet

It comes from Sweden

All americas high end bowie knifes where made here

>because Americans love their Bowie knives
No we don't. I've never met anyone but an edge lord with a Bowie Knife. We use hunting knives which are still bigger and useful. We also use filleting knives for fishing and knives for electrical work.

You dont I've never met one with the fucking thing who wasnt a collecter. Not neccesarily this style but this type of knife is more common especially amongst hunters.

What does it say?

>whiter than you ahmed

hahahaha

What size is that?

8

Nice. I have a lot of knives but never an opinel.

Been using a Ahti-Leuku Puukko, 90 mm for many years now. Excellent knife, holds an edge extremely well, just needs some oil after rainy days.
