I have an Opinel #7 that was also purchased from Ragweed Forge. They are a rare bargain in the knife world. I carried it for a year until I was able to open and lock it single handed but it was just too clumsy for fast paced kitchen utility work. I can't say that no one looks twice when you pull out a pocket knife any longer but the Opinel certainly looks tame and garnered little attention from my coworkers. It's just too hard for me to go back and carry a knife that doesn't open and close easily with one hand. Now I am embarrassed to admit that my EDC during the work week is a Mastercraft folding utility knife. It is large, clumsy, oversprung, and rides poorly. I found it in a parking lot and have used it and abused it for 3 years while only replacing the utility blade twice. I sharpen the replaceable blade every few days and it always serves well. They are completely overbuilt and it should go on as long as I don't lose sight of it.
