Lizzy Tex Borden's

I also went to the new REI location and found

something that I have been looking for in the wild

for a few years. This is an Opinel #8 Knife. I really

wanted a carbon steel blade, but I will take stainless

for now (especially since it is all they had in a #8).

And here is the nice little knife out of it's package.

From end to end the knife is about 7.5 inches long.
The blade measures 3.25 inches. The blade is INOX.
"Inox is a shortened form of the French word inoxydable,
meaning "stainless" or "resistant to oxidation (rust)."
Oooo la la. Fancée!

I love the way the wood ages on these knives.
So glad to have this knife in my collection.
Oh yeah... I paid $22.00 for the knife.
