I think there is a degree of tastelessness that goes hand in hand with the lack of self awareness on display.
AKA tacky and dumb

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Think the pistes would have to be really hard n'icy to warrant using "couteaux"

Ah with a range specifically designed for kids, that would ring alarm bells in many other places.

I picked myself up a No.8 with a nice walnut handle as a souvenir of my trip to Paradiski off the back of this thread. Good weight, nice sharp blade, a little rustic in finish perhaps but overall happy with it.

Alas, I am replying to you from an Italian Alpine prison after I used my Opinel to decapitate a snowboarder with a horribly low quality speaker in her backpack and cat ears on her helmet.
To add insult to injury the music kept on playing as it cartwheeled off down Belvedere 2.
A great trip till that point however, many a sausage snaffled mid run.

I had an Opinel confiscated at the ferry terminal in Dover, years ago. I was upset as it was a present and had my initials on it.

I always take my Swiss Army multi-tool X , bit like a leatherman, when skiing - it lives in my water bottle carrier and I wouldn't feel properly dressed without it. Yes, it has a locking blade (and all the other tools), never occurred to me to question its legality. I think it's a uniquely British perspective, elsewhere nobody would bat an eyelid.
Just did a quick check via chatgpt, seems that one-handed opening, which it is not, might be problematic in Germany, but even there, and indeed even in the UK, there's a 'without a valid reason' clause and outdoor activities in general seem to fall into that category.

Worth noting that Opinels* and Leathermen will get confiscated on Eurostar. You need a non-locking blade of regulation size. I have no idea how I shall cut up my saucisson on the lifts in Les Arcs next week…….
*as i found out. Felt a right fool as I was standing next to the restricted items poster with a picture of an Opinel with a Red Cross through it……….

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I once had a banana confiscated at Calgary airport. It was a regulation size and non-locking.

@Richard_Sideways, A dangerous weapon. If you are attacked by a man armed with a banana you must first make them drop it, then eat the banana, rendering them helpless. And don't ask about pineapples.

You know it makes sense.

@Chaletbeauroc, what about if I'd had a bunch? And they didn't shoot, but they did set a dog on me.

We came back from Jamaica via Newark, colleague decided to eat her banana while walking through transit. Got pulled over and sent to the naughty corner to explain herself. We started making loud comments about Marigolds and arriving home a few days later. We can laugh now.
Probably lucky it wasn’t a pointed stick.
