Nice! The 13, I think is produced without the display.


I have the 12, which is already stupidly huge (it's over 6" closed), but can do fixed blade jobs. So large, Opinel sells a serrated version as a bread/cheese/sausage knife as a part of a picnic set. The 7 is my favorite size for EDC. I currently have 6,7, 9 DIY, and 12. Thinking about adding the popular #8 model to my collection. The 10 should be more appropriate for "big knife" jobs as it's Folding Hunter sized, not "Abrams Tank" size like the 12.

Somewhere around here I have the box of the full set of Opinels. It doesn't have one as big as the display or the hawkbill version which I also bought. I have a few old ones which are great using knives.___Dave
