In reply to Mike Eks. Very informative, thanks for the info, I have both versions I'll keep the carbone for gardening and the inox for camping/hiking.

In reply to sebastian. As a sailor you should go for the inox option yeah. Opinels bite through rope unlike other knives. The blade shape is perfect for that purpose. Just keep a leather strop or your belt handy.

If you plan to cut food with your knife, then a stainless steel blade is recommended.
In general, stainless steel will be much easier to care for in a humid environment, like a sweaty pocket, or when working with wet products, like food.

Also it should be mentioned very lightweight whiling being safe compared to nearly all other camping knives.
Very important for cycle and hiker campers who want to carry the least amount of kg’s!
