This old friend has cut Hazel, Willow, Ash ,sliced Apples, fingers
and lord knows what else.

Opinel knives.

 The number ten (one on the right) was given to me by K.
forty odd years ago. Sharp as a razor, carbon steel. Lovely.
Pruner is fairly new and stainless steel and does not hold its edge so well.
Brilliant knives. The no. ten
cost 75 p. from Guildfords Habitat shop.
