Have had this for a year, but just now getting to use the backhoe. Small, but a lifesaver while planting about 7 trees today (and it takes advantage of the boy's video game joystick skills).

For me it’s always stainless because I’m in a marine environment most of the time but I can get a better edge on the carbon steel versions. I have a lovely set of stainless (Global) Japanese kitchen knives but struggle to get a good edge on them but give me a victorinox kitchen knife or pen knife and I can sharpen good enough to shave with.So tell me, with the Opinel’s - carbon or stainless and why?
A ceramic "steel" will yield an excellent edge on Global Japanese knives... provided the sharpening "angle of attack" is 15 deg. It's difficult to maintain the 15 deg...For me it’s always stainless because I’m in a marine environment most of the time but I can get a better edge on the carbon steel versions.

Really like it. Like the saying, more fun to drive a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow, in this case it’s driving a slow motorcycle slow, i.e. its a very fun low speed cruiser to get you exploring the backcountry at a relaxing pace. Tractor like performance, that you don’t have to worry about dropping and then being able to pick up, unlike a big adventure bike, different application requiring a different mindset.How do you like it?
I love that kind of motorcycling. I think it’s gotten lost these day. Grew up with the Trial 70 and have a Monkey now, but really like that Trail. Perfect strapped to a Grenadier.Really like it.
