You got more right about this knife than I ever would about anything African :-)
I bet you use/carry a Scandi or Finnish knife though.

No, I always have a French knife in my pocket : an OPINEL. The best there is (in my humble opinion)

I've had several opinel, fine knives, but I've found them a bit fat and bulky
for carry. Mostly around the homestead, I carry either an old rebuilt Broderna Jonsson or a customized Jarvenpaa puukko. For pants pocket carry you might
want to look at the Eka folders. Inexpensive, good steel, take/hold a good edge and slimmer than the opinels.

I assume there is a source for them in Europe.
