This item is currently unavailable

In 1890 Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in Savoie (French Alps), he created a tool that was as robust and functional as it was simple and beautiful. Today, that same pocket knife is an iconic design object : instantly recognizable, imminently useful, and beloved by generations. Designed to stand the test of time, Opinel knives and tools are made with Opinel’s original dedication to craftsmanship and quality.

Blade length: 8,5 cm

Color: grey

Material:

We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel.

It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance.

Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.

Yatagan blade:

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape.

The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up.

The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.

Handle:

Coming from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.

Safety ring:

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
