Running With Knives (a follow up)

I recently purchased a few of the mid-length folding knives from Opinel. I can't wait to see them. Funny thing is that I thought I'd get a more competitive price by hunting around online rather than going straight to Opinel. Wrong. After digging around, I found the US distribution channel by looking at the Export section of the Opinel website. They have the best prices available online.

Now, I'm in that anxious limbo between having spent the money and actually seeing the product. In the meantime I'm eyeing a few items from flexcut and, more specifically, some short-bladed knives that are particularly for chip carving. I'll share more when I find what I want.

I'll also snag a few thumb guards and basswood pieces (including eggs), to start playing with.
