I don't want to get an argument going, but I will suggest comparing the Opinel Inox (stainless) to the carbon. It is 12c27 which is a fine grained stainless which acts a lot like carbon steel. Opinel's carbon is slightly soft. The Opinel carbon will take a finer edge, but roll easily. 12c27 will take an edge nearly as fine, but hold that edge much longer.
I am a carbon steel lover myself. My collection is heavy on USA Schrade Old Timers and modded Opinel Inox #8's. (old locking ring style of course, but one can of worms at a time)
wa', cha', wej, Ha'!

And here is the no 6 for size comparison. It’s really hard until you have it in hand to visualize the sizes even when you read the measurements.
