Opinel No 04 Inox

I had a rare specimen where the base of the blade was thinner than the middle part of the blade, it certainly won't bother normal users, but when I carve hard wood species, Boxwood and the like, they changed it to a new one in your shop. The blade is unbelievably strong in these stainless ones, the carbon steel No. 2 once broke at the hand stamp.
