I'd had it for about 20 years, and felt really lost without it. I had others of course, but it wasn't the same.

Mine is a german hunting knife with an 8 inch blade. It has opened tins, gutted fish, finely sliced parma ham and helped make an overnight shelter in the forest.

After much search I resigned myself to fact that I'd probably chucked it out together with a mountain of peel, onion and garlic skins. And then, what do you know, oh happiness, a few weeks later I came across it in the most unlikely of places. Don't ask. Now when I misplace something I look there first.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-83597343412136260072018-06-02T09:31:47.855+01:002018-06-02T09:31:47.855+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-72364799255208923812018-06-02T08:51:15.910+01:002018-06-02T08:51:15.910+01:00stop looking for something, and it feels lost with...stop looking for something, and it feels lost without you..<br /><br />Supermarkets move thing around so that you notice more....and buy more..so they hope!gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-81238122300785560142018-06-02T08:29:23.809+01:002018-06-02T08:29:23.809+01:00I'm expecting great things.I'm expecting great things.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-25824085318248479072018-06-02T08:29:07.535+01:002018-06-02T08:29:07.535+01:00Very nice here, but rain forecast for ALL next wee...Very nice here, but rain forecast for ALL next week.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-76986820223412883102018-06-02T08:28:38.758+01:002018-06-02T08:28:38.758+01:00Good.Good.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14363858545334317792018-06-02T08:28:27.799+01:002018-06-02T08:28:27.799+01:00I cannot tell you how pleased I was to find my Opi...I cannot tell you how pleased I was to find my Opinel.
