Overall the price I paid, delivery, etc were fine, however I feel the engraving service let F&T down on this occasion. No option was given as to which side of the handle the engraving would appear on. I erroneously assumed they would use the side with no branding as it result in a clean, uncluttered finish.
Instead they chose to squeeze the engraving at one end of the handle on the same side as the Opinel branding leading to a very crushed and cluttered aesthetic.
At just under £50 for an Opinel complete with the engraving I would have expected a bit more thought to have gone into the process.
The knife was intended as part of a “landmark” birthday gift for a forager, however given the knifes appearance I decided just to give it to them and come up with something else for their birthday.
So at least they will get an extra present, but I’m left disappointed with F&T.
