Les Coursolle sont pas mal non plus ! Je restaure un vieux Pradel, mais je ne sais si ça se fabrique encore!

Thank you kindly for your thoughtful comment! It warms my heart to hear that you appreciate the timeless design of the No.7 Opinel knife. I'm thrilled to contribute to its longevity with the skills shared in the video. Do you have any favorite use or specific occasion where your No.7 truly shines?

Thank you for your lighthearted comment! I'm glad you found some entertainment in it. 😊 Out of curiosity, do you have any favorite breakfast recipes or traditions?

Thank you kindly for your comment! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the video. Opinel knives are indeed a classic choice, and the #8 with an olive wood handle sounds like a fantastic piece. I appreciate you sharing your preference. Do you have any specific uses or memories with your Opinel knives that stand out?

Thank you kindly for your Opinel enthusiasm! The No. 8 is indeed a classic choice. I appreciate your taste in folding knives. Do you have any favorite memories or adventures with your Opinel that stand out?

Thank you kindly for sharing that! That has a lot of sense 👍

Thank you kindly! Your compliment just made my day brighter! Cheers!

Thank you kindly! I'm glad you enjoyed the story 😃👍

¡Muchas gracias por tus edificantes palabras! Tu aliento significa mucho. Por cierto, ¿te has topado últimamente con algún proyecto o logro interesante que te haya hecho sonreír?

Thank you kindly for noticing! Awesome!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate your thoughtful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Is there any other content you'd like to see in the future? Thanks again! 👍

Thank you kindly for your thoughtful words! I appreciate your recognition of the history behind this Opinel knife. It's truly a labor of love to restore and bring out its original beauty. Your interest in the craftsmanship is heartening 😀👍

@@FFD_Restorations you're very welcome! I do wish to do the same myself but.. I have no skills,having troubles already to fix an opinel handle that I modified ahaha.. maybe one day! For now, I enjoy very much what you do! Very talented!

Merci gentiment pour vos mots d'encouragement! J'apprécie vos commentaires positifs.

Thank you kindly for your encouraging words my friend! I'm truly grateful for your appreciation and I'm delighted to have been able to revive the forgotten knife and give it a new purpose. It's always rewarding to see a tool restored to its intended use. Thank you for saying that 🤝

@@FFD_Restorations I love seeing the progress you have made and how your skills and tools have developed over the years, you have gone from an enthusiastic beginner to a very accomplished restorer, should be very proud of yourself, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your progress

Thank you kindly for your heartwarming words! Your greetings from the traditional Indonesian gold prospecting world bring an extra sparkle to the day. 🌟

Obrigado gentilmente por suas palavras calorosas! Estou muito feliz que você tenha apreciado o trabalho de restauração da faca. Enviando um abraço virtual de volta para você 🤗

Thank you kindly for your sweet words ma'am! I'm delighted you enjoyed the sheath as well. Your positivity is contagious! 😊 By the way, any favorite color or style you personally lean towards? Always curious to hear others' tastes!

I like leather work of all kinds. I’ve done quite a bit of it over the years. I’m part Native American, so my favorite style of knife sheath would be Native American Woodlands style. They are usually fringed and sometimes beaded or quilled, and the knife slides almost completely inside the sheath, with only a small part of the pommel exposed. This is so it is not likely to be lost while hunting.🤗🐝❤️

Thank you kindly for the compliment! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. I appreciate you say that!

Thank you kindly! I appreciate your kind words. It was a labor of love 😃

Thank you kindly for your thoughtful comment sir! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the video and appreciated the little touch with the piece of wood in the handle. Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite type of knife or a unique customization you've come across that stands out to you?

Thank you for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you're enjoying the content and finding value in the historical aspects. Your feedback is truly appreciated.

@@FFD_Restorations I believe I speak for many of your viewers, we're ready for an extensive tour of your shop. I constantly find myself distracted from your restoration by looking at your other tools and things in the background.

Thank you kindly for your appreciation! It's always great to meet a fellow Opinel enthusiast. Restoring them can be a fun project when you're ready to take the plunge. I'm curious, do you have a favorite Opinel model or a particular garage sale find that stands out among the rest?

¡Muchas gracias! Me alegro que hayas disfrutado. Tus comentarios positivos significan mucho para mí. ¿Hay algo específico que te haya llamado la atención o alguna sugerencia para mejorar? ¡Aprecio tu aporte!

Thank you so much for your kind words my friend! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the work, and I completely agree - there's something special. I appreciate your support for the Opinel brand choice, and I'm hopeful this piece will be well used. Your anticipation for my next project warms my heart! I'll do my best to keep the creative momentum going. 🎨 Sending you a virtual toast 🥃 for your well-wishes, and please give my regards to the co-worker cats! 🐾 Looking forward to staying in touch and sharing more creative moments with you! Thank you, you too my friend 🤝

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the restoration and the sheath. Your appreciation means a lot 😃👍

@@FFD_Restorations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the knife restoration. Knives are fascinating, aren't they? Do you have a favorite type or style of knife that you particularly appreciate?

@@FFD_Restorations Thank you Boris! I have a lot of modern fixed blade and especially folding knives but vintage Sheffield made knives have become my favourites lately.:) Sheepfoot blade is my favourite type of blade. 👍😊 Thank you for the great videos! I love your workshop!

😀👍

Thank you kindly for your compliment! I'm thrilled you liked the restoration. Any favorite antique pieces you have that hold a special place in your heart?

I lost my father almost a year ago and i inherited his tools. Most of them were passed down to him from my great grandfather making me the fourth generation to own them. They all hold a special place in my heart. I've restored a lot of them but i have a lot more to go. These are the tools my father taught me to use when I was a kid in the 70s so they all hold a lot of sentimental value to me but my favorite has to be a colonial (1590-1700) era 5th foot Bladesmith hornless anvil that has been in my family since it was new and all the men in my dads side of the family have used it. I can only imagine the stories it could tell after being on this earth for around 400 years. I am truly honored to have it to pass down to the next generation.

Thank you kindly for sharing that! It's great to hear that your son enjoys using those knives for his adventures. Locking mechanism ¨viroblock¨ was introduced in 1955. Opinel makes great knives and it is no wonder why your son enjoys the Opinel brand.

Thank you kindly for your encouraging words! Opinel knives do have a timeless charm, don't they? Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite model or series among the Opinel collection?

@@FFD_Restorations My Opinel preferences are pretty mundane. I prefer carbon steel blades in size Nos. 8 & 9 - their most popular sizes. Years ago I was able to purchase one in each size that had been modified by replacing the wood handles with stag. I also own a No. 8 that was manufactured by Opinel with different types of wool laminated together to form the handle, I plan on replacing the stainless blade on that knife with a carbon blade. I also like their No. 12 folding saw. Which models do you like best?

Thank you kindly for your encouraging words! I appreciate your support!

Спасибо, любезно! Ощутить очарование прошлого - это радость. 😊 Какая любимая эпоха или исторический период захватывает ваше воображение?

Время бежит,все что было с нами,на протяжении жизни захватывает.Иначе скучно!

Thank you kindly for your kind words! I'm glad you appreciate it 😀👍

Thank you! Opinel's do have a way of gaining character over time, don't they? 😊 What's your take on maintaining the pristine look versus embracing the well-earned life marks on your knives?

Thank you kindly for your kind words! I appreciate your positive feedback. I'm glad you liked the knife and the workshop setup. Is there a specific aspect of the process or design that caught your interest? 🔪🛠️

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the knife! It's impressive steel and the Opinel factory makes really sharp knives that stay that way for a long time. Out of curiosity, what Opinel size do you have?

@@FFD_Restorations It’s a No. 8, one where the ferrel turns to lock the blade open.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your encouragement. Merci beaucoup 🤗

Благодарим Вас за положительный отзыв о субтитрах! Я очень рад слышать, что вы нашли их полезными. Если вам понравилось что-то конкретное или у вас есть предложения по улучшению, я буду рад услышать ваши мысли. Очень признателен!

Спасибо большое Андрей! Я очень рад слышать, что вам понравилось видео! Всегда здорово общаться с другими энтузиастами. Я ценю ваше предложение поделиться происхождением старых предметов в моей мастерской. Хотелось бы знать, есть ли какой-то конкретный фрагмент, который вас интересует, или есть ли у вас другие идеи для будущих видео!

Thank you kindly for noticing the unique safety ring on the Opinel! It does add a special touch, doesn't it? 😄 Your observation skills are on point! It was patented and introduced in 1955. If you see a knife without a safety ring it means it is produced before 1955. By the way, have you come across any other interesting knife features that caught your eye recently? Always curious to hear from fellow enthusiasts! Cheers from Norway

@@FFD_Restorations On that picture at 0:17 did the last knife on the right got something like a bee on it ? I'm not a specialist at all but the knife on that picture looks like Opinel knife, and the last one... could be similar too an other french brand of knife named Laguiole, and bee is the logo of that brand (but there is no copyright on that name or on that logo, so there is a lot of "Laguiole" made in China ;)). If someday you're go again in France, i suggest you to visit "Thiers" it's the city of knife maker ;)

Thank you for sharing that interesting technique! I appreciate the creative approach to matching wood tones. I will keep that in mind for the next time!

Thank you kindly! My belt grinder and I make quite the dynamic duo. 😄 By the way, have you tried any unique tools or gadgets lately that brought unexpected joy to your day?

Сердечное спасибо за ободряющие слова! Я ценю вашу поддержку.

According to me it is forbidden to carry a locking knife in France.

Thank you kindly for sharing that interesting tidbit about the Opinel! I appreciate the insight. By the way, what is your favorite Opinel model?

Thank you kindly for your encouraging words and suggestion.

Dear @@FFD_Restorations You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I totally appreciate both very much. Wait a minute! I didn't get a heart. So it seems that my comment wasn't worth one, sigh.

Спасибо за ваш комментарий!

Thank you kindly for your comment! Your support means a lot 😀 I appreciate the encouragement. By the way, do you have any favorite topics or themes you'd like to see more of? I'm always open to suggestions!

¡Gracias por su pregunta! Agradezco tu curiosidad. Este cuchillo en particular no tiene mecanismo de resorte.

Thank you so much for sharing that information! That is correct! I appreciate your knowledge on the topic. It's fascinating to learn about the history of knives and their features. Do you have any other interesting tidbits about vintage tools or maybe a favorite piece from your collection?

Thank you for sharing! Camp knives, even the dingy ones, have a way of earning a special place in our hearts, don't they? Your trusty tool sounds like it has quite a story 😍

Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your keen observation. You're correct, the absence of a locking ring on the knife is sign of its age. It's fascinating how designs and features evolve over time. Do you have any favorite vintage tools or knives?

I have a lot of restored vintage tools in my workshop, too many to have a favorite. The Opinel No.7 is one of my favorite knives, I will have to look for one that needs restoration. Thanks.

Thank you so much for sharing that tip on opening an Opinel! I appreciate your guidance. I'll definitely give it a try. By the way, do you have any other favorite techniques or recommendations for using Opinel knives? I'm always eager to learn more about such tools.

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your curiosity. I actually don't sell my knives; I mainly use them for cooking and other household tasks.

Unfortunately not. I'm not sure when I'm gonna visit France next time.

Halo yang disana! Salam Indonesia! 🌏 Terima kasih telah menghubungi kami. Saya menghargai sapaan hangat dari belahan dunia Anda.

Thank you for sharing your observations! I appreciate your attention to detail. The Opinel introduced safety rings in 1955. That means that this knife is at least 70 years old! And they produced knives from 1800!
