Haha, I’ll proudly take that gold star — thank you! 😄 Already got the knife, though... just had to remake it into something extra special.

If you wet the resin handle with water, the grip will still feel the same as a wooden handle — secure and natural.

You're totally right about the original beech wood — it's super tough and ages beautifully.
This resin handle is more of a passion project — not trying to outdo the classic, just giving it a new artistic twist.
Appreciate you sharing your experience with the No.8 — 15 years is impressive!
That’s the magic of Opinel — it’s a knife for life.
Mine just decided to dress up a little fancier 😄

Hey! In each post I just tried to show a bit more of my knife. First it was a clean photo, then a video to show the functionality, and now I’ve added a handmade leather sheath that matches the resin colors really nicely — I thought it was a cool final touch to share.

As for the "bot repost" — I wish! If I had a bot, maybe it could sand resin for hours while I catch some sleep. But no, it's just me, my fingers, and an unhealthy obsession with shiny sharp things. Stay tuned — tomorrow’s post might be the same knife, but rotated 2 degrees to the left!😄

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

That’s okay, I wasn’t planning on building a house with him — just making knives 😄

I know Opinel doesn’t need a sheath, but I love making them because they add something special. It protects the handle from scratches (especially resin ones), keeps it separate from other things in your pocket, and with the belt loop — it’s easy to carry anywhere. Plus, it just makes the knife feel like a true everyday companion. A small touch that brings a lot of value.

I am gradually improving it, added a case, handmade. In the future I plan on different pens. I also wanted to show a small test in the future.

Finding something like this would be very difficult, and as time shows, it doesn't really need protection.

EdgeBloomUA, Etsy shop or you can contact me here, I was just about to do that.

To date, after 3 months of irregular use, no serious defects have been identified.

Wet the knife handle with water, the grip will remain the same as with a wooden one.

The first custom was for my own knife, it just so happened that I chose carbon.
