Look I get that it cuts well but people act like an Opinel is some kind of life changing revelation. Its a carbon steel blade with a wooden handle that costs like 15 bucks. Of course it takes an edge, carbon steel is way easier to sharpen than stainless. The trade off is it rusts if you look at it wrong and that locking ring is annoying to use with one hand. Ive owned two and they both eventually got loose and wobbly. They work fine for carving marshmallow sticks or opening packages but lets not pretend its better than a decent modern folder with actual lockup and pocket clip. Its a fun old school design for sure but I wouldnt call it a serious daily carry tool.

Ten grand on groceries? That's insane. That's like feeding a small army for a month. I don't even spend that in half a year for one person. What are they buying, gold-plated avocados? Sounds like someone's trying too hard to flex with a cart full of organic quinoa.
