Picked up a $9 Opinel at a flea market in Tulsa and my carry rotation changed in 3 months

I grabbed a no. 8 carbon Opinel for $9 at a flea market in Tulsa back in March, mostly as a beater. The real surprise was the jacket side. My grandfather's 1972 houndstooth blazer had a loose cuff button and a frayed lapel edge, and that cheap little knife trimmed the threads so clean I finally wore it out of the house. Anyone else keep one blade that does all the small fixing work on their vintage stuff?
