About 2 years ago I bought a Opinel #10 stainless and a #9 carbone
https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?attachments/image-2-jpeg.763147/ They begged me to mod them.
Well after using these knives for a couple of years I prefer the stainless over the carbone. This is just a steel preference and has nothing to do with the size difference of these knives. I will say the difference is slight, but depending on the environment were the knives are used it maybe more of a consideration.
I just wanted to share my opinion on this.
After clipping the points on these two knives and reshaping the handles I have a #8.5 and a #9.5 : )
