Opinel knives

[Tangled Metal]

My Victorinox(got it right )knives are washed under a hot tap and hinge lubed with olive oil.
I sharpen them with medium 4000 grit diamond stone which gives a good enough edge fipor their purpose

So you wash your Victorinox, sharpen it and oil it. I think that's all I've ever done to all my Opinels. Also I've got 2 or 3 Victorinox knives and they all go very stiff to open if left for awhile. Olive oil or other oil and both types of knives open easier.

I was told carbon steel is easiest to sharpen especially for novice knife sharpeners. SS holds the edge longer but is harder to sharpen. I like both and get on with both.

It depends on the steel.
