Pocket knife

I use an Opinel No.12 for my main stalking knife. Have been fairly happy with it but recently the handle got damaged by turning the lock sleeve too far round.
I emailed Opinel and sent them photographs thinking that they would just send me a replacement but no, "send it back and we will have a look at it".
I did that and eventually after about a month they sent my knife back with a new handle.
Not really worth the effort when a new one is about £18 so my advice is get an Opinel but don't go much on the guarantee.
 
I had an Opinal fold up on me years ago when I was hocking the legs on a rabbit. Cut the back of three fingers near to the bone. In the dark with cold with wet hands I thought I had turned the lock ring round properly, but hadn't. Went off them there and then.
I like the positive snap of a good liner lock, but each to their own. There are no right or wrong answers, just suggestions.
 
That's three of us interested, nearly at the magic £150 for a small group buy?
I’m game for that if you’re happy to do it like that. Sure I can buy a cap or something to make it over the value. I’m happy to order all three and get the money from you when they arrive?
 
How about a genuine Lambs Foot? Mine never leaves my pocket! Takes and holds a cracking edge. Under £20, too

Arthur Wright, Sheffield. Lambs Foot carbon steel. Sharpest pocket knife I ever owned, easy to sharpen & holds a edge like a razor. Had many Opinels over the years, but lost count of the tips I broke, you will never break the tip off a Lambs Foot.;)

That would work for me, we need a third person to join us. Definitely worth finding out the cost from Sweden.
 
I been carrying one of these for years, hardly know it's in your pocket, in fact i like it so much i ordered half a dozen just in case they ever stopped making them 🤣
