Of course there are better knives, but at the low price and established value of Opinel you'll struggle to find something comparable that also makes a nice gift, especially if the giver has a nostalgic connection to it, as Deniz does. I've had one for over 30 years and my parents always had one along on spring ski day picnics or hikes, so I get the feeling. And yeah, they're basically picnic knives but that still means they can be useful and cut a thousand things and they're not pretending to be more. And especially not looking like or using the word tactical in the name.
Your budget is 20 US / 30 CAD. Whatcha got?
