And Austria is missing from the German numbers.
The numbers for Germany and Switzerland seem low. CH has 8M inhabs and more than a third are German speakers. DE has 84M inhabs and even 30% of immigrant families speak exclusively German at home.
So I would guess more like 77M + 7M + 4M
Definitely get an Opinel.
The no 8 (blade is 8,5cm) used to be 8€, is now about 11,50€
They’re well made, no gimmicks, just a good steel (no rust or carbon) blade
