Opinel

Details

Simple in design and flawless in execution, this lightweight Opinel Knife is a classic – the product of over 130 years of fine French craftsmanship and innovation. It takes just 5 parts to make the No. 06 pocketknife: a sustainably sourced French Beech wood handle, a Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade, a blade pivot pin and the remaining two pieces that make up the “inspired” blade locking twist mechanism – the Virobloc®. The Virobloc not only locks the blade open and closed, but also gives the knife an incredible amount of strength. The No. 06, like other Opinel Knives, is sharp and its blade takes a superb edge. It will be great in the shop for general duties, and we suspect it will make its way into your life in places like the kitchen, lunch box, backpack and vehicle.

Opinel, located in the heart of the French Alps, makes 5.5 million of its incredibly serviceable knives a year – knives that are used all over the world.
