I am 38 and I live in Normandy, where I was born. I have a passion for nature and gastronomy, I gather wild edible plants and produce natural cider and sparkling wines which I deliver to fair trade restaurants weekly.
Cutting the strings around haystacks with Jacques, my dad, to feed cows. He taught me to cut them the right way, which is near the knot, and to open the blade of my Opinel by gently tapping against a piece of wood in the stable, just like my grandfather had taught him.
Perseverance and adaptability, which are values I find crucial to lead a project the right way. The Opinel knife gets passed on from one generation to the next, it only needs sharpening to keep it alive. I use it daily when picking wild plants, cooking or making cider. And I will soon again for grafting in my orchard.
The Nº08 with carbon blade, without a doubt.
In the pocket.
