Robust and lightweight folding knife equipped with a 10-centimeter locking blade. This modern design comes from a French company boasting over a century of expertise.
The Clip-Point blade is crafted from 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel and features a semi-matte finish. Employing a full flat grind and a slim blade profile, the knife provides excellent cutting performance.
A thumb notch on the blade allows for easy one-handed opening, while the Virobloc lock mechanism secures the blade in place. This system, consisting of a steel ring at the blade's hinge, requires a simple rotation after opening to lock the blade, effectively preventing any unwanted movement. The lock also ensures the knife remains closed when folded, protecting against accidental deployment.
The handle is ergonomically shaped and made of a polymer that withstands impacts, water, and extreme temperatures from -40 deg. C to +80 deg. C. A retractable tick removal tool in two sizes and a steel line-cutting hook are included, both easily removable for cleaning. Additionally, the handle features a whistle with a 110 dB output, guaranteed to function in all weather and audible up to 300 meters away.

Opinel is a French knife brand whose history dates back to 1890 in Savoy. The founder, Joseph Opinel, created the first folding knife, No. 08, which quickly became a symbol of everyday use thanks to its simplicity and functionality. In 1955, the Virobloc locking system was introduced, later modernized, which is still the hallmark of the brand today. In 1985, Opinel was recognized by the Victoria and Albert Museum as one of the 100 best-designed objects in the world, and the brand's knives also found their way into the MoMA collection in New York. Production takes place in Chambery, with an emphasis on quality and ecology - the wood comes from French forests and the waste is used to heat the factory. Among the famous users was Pablo Picasso, who used Opinel for carving, and the knives themselves have become a symbol of simplicity, durability, and the French lifestyle.
