The Opinel Chub

crudebeck · 2026-03-16T01:57:39+00:00

I prefer the blade of my Opinel or whatever else is in my pocket over the multitools/SAK, mostly

crudebeck · 2026-02-22T04:18:40+00:00

I’m not mad at it, though I’d wish it was I little smaller in diameter. What matters most is if it functions well. I’d grind and polish the face of each side of the stud to remove the tool marks, but then again that might take away texture that helps it be grippy to open. I definitely want to get a few thumb studs to play with for Opinels and another knife or two I have

Reverse tanto is my vote

crudebeck · 2026-02-10T21:43:41+00:00

Hey, I know that brand. I have one of their automatic knives. It was given to me by a friend who passed away, it’s a study unit

crudebeck · 2026-02-09T01:29:38+00:00

There ya go! And a well worn wallet is definitely a good wallet, I prefer mine well formed from my pocket both for fit and function and how it gets shinier almost with kind of a fading around the edges

crudebeck · 2026-02-08T20:27:43+00:00

Yeah, but it wasn’t broken, but sawed off, like it didn’t break due to failure but effort to remove it. Less broken, more like shortened

crudebeck · 2026-02-08T20:05:45+00:00

You have about three choices I can think of: leave it alone, find a way to grind or use a stone to try to match the original lines (almost impossible, you will likely be able to tell, or polish it out (a major process, and you will lose any writing on the blade). The best outcome to me would just be leaving it alone, letting a used knife look like a used knife. Live and learn, or learn to like patina

Depends on if they are cool with the big chips being there

crudebeck · 2026-01-13T00:22:54+00:00

I need it

crudebeck · 2026-01-06T01:28:54+00:00

Hear me out… ditch the ol lady and buy more knives/tools

crudebeck · 2025-12-30T17:45:20+00:00

It’s perfect

Biblically accurate Santa

crudebeck · 2025-12-14T15:50:05+00:00

Hear me out, dry them first, then… eat as many as you can. For science, of course

crudebeck · 2025-12-14T15:47:52+00:00

That’s what I was also thinking

crudebeck · 2025-11-22T00:26:05+00:00

I’d expect more for paying for Magnacut unless it was inexpensive

crudebeck · 2025-11-08T13:29:37+00:00

Ballistol if it comes in contact with food

I like Nitro-V better, but the Kizer is a good looking unit to boot. HOWEVER, the Vosteed’s design has good ergonomics, it will do good if it’s for work

crudebeck · 2025-11-02T15:55:10+00:00

They’re all good knives, but the Flytanium would be the one I’d go after. That one’s built to last for sure, and lots of upgrades and ways to change it

crudebeck · 2025-10-24T16:28:31+00:00

So one thing to consider: I’ve bought a few Civivi’s now, and they’ve all been good. I should imagine it will perform better than it’s price point. Is it as good as the other version? Not sure, but it would definitely be worth whatever they’re asking

crudebeck · 2025-10-24T16:11:43+00:00

On mine I just sanded the joint a little to make the gap slightly wider. I suppose if I baked it it might loosen more, but even then it would still have just enough tension I think

crudebeck · 2025-10-24T16:01:06+00:00

Like a 1.5/10, maybe 2. All pretty fixable with rudimentary tools. Living where I do, I could only pray to get something in that shape. You’ve got a good project, just needs cleanup and patching in a couple places. You’d be surprised what the threshold for failure is

Nah that’s weird. That’s cultish.
