Wyatt Earp Posted September 26, 2014 Share My trusty pocketknife, goes along on every ride, and pretty much always in my pocket.Bought it in Chamonix, France earlier in the year.On my 5am riding route, there is a particularly hairy section just as you hit a steep climb where I normally take it out, open and lock the blade, and keep it in my left hand, just as an in-case for peace of mind more than anything else.Other than that it is mostly used for biltong and avo's...I will still get one.

Letum911 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Saw this little beauty at Next Field in Woodlands a while back. It was very tempting!!! Looks like a stainless blade, should be nice and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nox1111 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Ha, it gave me the shivers too! haha, I know I know, weighing up the options, I'd rather take the chance with an open knife.The other morning I was approached by a slowly driving car with the lights off - about 100m away they switched on brights - blinding me, so out comes trusty pocketknife. Nothing happened this time around - they seemt to have been sleeping in the car next to the road or getting down to business, and my light must have bothered them...

Letum911 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Did you catch the price ? It was around R1600 if I remember correctly (I can double check tonight if you want an accurate price). Bit pricey for an Opinel in my opinion but it is a bone handle with what looks like a stainless so I guess it's not that expensive when compared to other knives of same material and quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll drop by there tonight, have to be in Woodlands at 20.00 anyway. Just to confirm the price and material. But for some reason bone got damn expensive over the last year or so. I wanted to have a knife made as a Xmas gift to myself, was quoted R600 more just for a Giraffe bone handle and R400 for warthog tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
