I turned around to put the knife in the shade to take a picture of the maker's mark. I heard a noise in the brush and turned to find some new desert "friends" You can see the clay head in the back ground and how close the nearest Javelina is to me from my shadow in the picture. There were at least 6 of them poking around.

Like me they must like Buck knives...
Good knife and like the pics of the Javelina!

Thanks!

Who made that one? It looks a little like a Svord peasant knife.

GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 1:07 am Dan, how do like the green synthetic handle on the Opinel No. 6? I have several older ones all wooden handles and I like the look of the new handles.

Per Opinel, that handle is hornbeam.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbeam

I like it pretty well. The color tint has a tiny bit of texture to it. Other sizes have better color choices, though, especially the No. 8.

I made an addition to the carry: the 33OT I purchased from GSPTOPDOG last year.

I did some more research on the wood, but mainly found out that Hornbeam is the strongest and healthiest wood that can be given to dogs.

However, I would not recommend allowing your Opinel #6 to be used as a chew for a bored canine for any number of reasons. At any rate, I think it makes the #6 "Pop" as them youngsters say now-a-days

An awesome EDC

As a side note the 33OT is looking good too!

Do you have any photos of the Waterman with the blades open? It looks similar to a couple I picked a little while ago.
Yes sir. Here ya go.

This one that I picked up has no markings, so I am a loss as to the maker...

The Maserin has some killer bones QS. Is that Camel bone? Love the splotchy mottled look. Cool blade profile too, looks kind of like a Spearcliffe or something.

Great lookin little swell center!! That ok no mark , it will cut!! Jimbo

Iman, I believe the Maserin scales to be wood, possibly cocobolo based on their frequent use of it.
