For the man who has everything....I bring you the Opinel mushroom knife with brush for cleaning them, in the local French hardware store the other day.

That is a very cool looking knife!! Something I really like from Opinel, it's a knife designed to be practical. Easy to use, easy to sharpen, cheap to buy and maintain and looks cool when it gets the odd stain.

A lifetime started slowly and then “The Wife” got involved and it just snowballed. As for the Magnetic strip, its Magnetic tape glued on a wood strip from local Hardware shop.

I have received a Joseph Rodgers pocket knife from my late Grand Father, and am curious about the history or heritage of the brand....anyone familiar with this at all?

 

Further to the above, I need to clean up the knife ... might even be better off finding a professional to do the works.

 

Some snap shot below ... if you need detail pics, please let me know.

Don't know the brand, but that will look really lekker when cleaned up.

That's a nice little keeper, not just from a sentimental value but collectors as well. Is there not a number on there somewhere?

Here's some prices of other Rodger pieces
