So I finally found a local store that carry opinel knives that doesn't want $30 for one, and picked up a #8 carbon blade.
Out of the box it doesn't cut at all, the edge is, well, it dosen't have one. Where edge is suppose to be it's basically flat. After spend over 30 minutes working on it and ground it to a 30° angle however... HOLY CRAP THIS THING GETS SHARP! It's probably sharper than my spyderco centofante, which is hollow ground and sharpened at 30° as well. It slices through paper like there's nothing there. Seriously, for $12 everyone should have one of these, it's simplicity at it's best.
