Absolutely amazing slicers! Thin stock and very thin grinds, also both the carbon steel and the modified 12C27 they use for the stainless just take a crazy edge. :eek:
My knife of choice when I know I've got a a hard/mucky day ahead! The kind of knife I won't cry over if it gets lost/broken (haven't broken one yet despite some serious abuse!).
One of the few manufactured knives i know of with a full convex grind on thin stock = serious slicing ability. I recommend using the mousemat technique followed by a strop for scary sharpness :)
I have a handful of Opies. I think you are going to enjoy them. Great slicers, fun to mod and can't beat the price. I hope you get some good patina on your carbon.
Enjoy

Thanks for the tip!
I got a Carbon # 6 myself. Really love it! Wish I could get a premium wood with the carbon but I'll prob get a # 9 next time. Can't argue for like $10. :p
I love them. Super light, super cheap, and great performing. If only they had a spydie hole and a clip. I have about 13 now I think. The number 6 and 8 are my favorites. I like the olive wood the best, but the slimline Bubinga is a real looker. I also recommend the jardin (garden) model spearpoint.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Excellent knives if you can raise the bevel just a bit, I got mine with almost zero bevel. It's a nice change in your EDC for once. Every once in a while I get an urge to carry something a bit more average compared to my usual higher end Spydies. I don't know why.
