Doesn't a pocketknife fold into its handle? Your Opinel probably has a sheath it's in, no?

I believe the Opinel #10 is a folding knife.  I also have to say, that the styling is simple and aesthetically pleasing and absolutely unthreatening.  To me, it would be the perfect picnic knife.

Yes, the Opinel does fold and has a sliding lock to prevent damage or injury731068206_ScreenShot2022-08-25at7_18_35AM.thumb.png.6e87d5a39e150c92785cbb57b1947cba.png.   

The biggest problem with a pocket(book) knife is remembering to move it to checked luggage when traveling.
