The famous Opinel Beech Carbon steel folding knife is to hand during all your adventures: hiking, camping, bivouacking, hunting and fishing. Extremely versatile, it is the ideal companion for your excursions into Nature.
The blades lock using the Virobloc safety ring, which in addition to locking the blade in the open position for safety of use, now enables locking of the blade in the closed position for safety during carrying. Opinel knife blades are made using steels with a high carbon content, which is what makes it possible to achieve the excellent hardness after heat treatment, guaranteeing the good strength of the cutting edge, resistance to wear and easy sharpening. Carbon has a low resistance to corrosion caused by moisture, which means that certain precautionary measures are necessary when using and storing the knives: we recommend that you avoid damp environments and that you dry and grease the blade after use. The handles are made from durable French orange beech wood, and the Opinel Yatagan blades, with their curved points and round profiles, are effective, precise and elegant.

“You can't beat an opinel, a real workhorse in the garden, workshop and kitchen. The carbon steel blade means it can be sharpened for years. Happy memories of slicing sauccison in the French sunshine”

“I know I asked for a 12cm blade but I hadn't thought it through. I can get both hands on the handle minus my left little finger. It wasn't as sharp as I expected it to be but that's easily (and therapeutically) fixed.”

“I knew that Opinel knives have this problem but hoped that it wouldn't happen with mine Opinel No 08. Unfortunately it stucked in a locked position after the first use (apple was cut, then the knife was washed with clean water and dried with a napkin). I have oiled it and used the "tap" tip from the Opinel's website to open the knife but it's still very hard to open and close. It means that this knife is not good for wilderness, only indoors using. I would't want the situration like that when I am outside.”

“This is a knife I have wanted for very many years, this knife has been around since 1890, I have no hesitation in saying that this the best knife in the world. I love it, it is a thing of absolute beauty and made with such skilled craftsmanship. My only criticism is that I had to sharpen it when I first received it, but my goodness I had forgotten just how much of a joy it is to use a razor sharp blade. I only use it for general food preparation but I know it is capable of far more than that. No one but me can get their hands on it. I just can't praise it enough, it retains its razor sharp edge with no problem. I cannot fault this knife except that I am reluctant to share the secret of it with anyone else.”
