Opinel My First Knife No.7 INOX Folding Knife - Red

A compact and ultra-light folding knife equipped with an 8-centimeter blade, a robust wooden handle, and the reliable Virobloc locking mechanism. The My First Knife series is specifically crafted for younger enthusiasts.

INOX stainless steel, Clip-Point profile blade

Featuring a Clip-Point blade profile, this knife is crafted from INOX stainless steel and finished with a semi-gloss polish. The flat-full grind, brought nearly to a zero-grind, along with the blade’s thickness, delivers exceptional cutting performance. For enhanced safety, a rounded tip has been integrated to reduce the risk of accidental blade penetration.

Virobloc lock

The knife can be opened using a nail nick on the blade. When in use, the blade is secured by the Virobloc locking mechanism, which was patented in 1955. This mechanism is a steel ring positioned on the handle at the level of the blade’s pivot axis. Once the blade is deployed, rotate the ring to cover the slot in the handle, effectively preventing the blade from moving. In the same manner, the knife can be locked closed after folding to guard against accidental opening.

Wooden handle

The handle of the knife is crafted from robust beech wood. Its ergonomic design ensures a firm and secure hold, while the handle’s structure allows for easy customization, including drilling holes, carving, or painting.

Main features

  • Lightweight construction ensures convenient portability
  • Blade crafted from INOX stainless steel for enhanced durability
  • Beech wood handle offers adaptability for custom modifications
  • Virobloc locking system provides reliable and straightforward operation
  • Clip-Point blade design with a rounded tip increases operational safety

Militaria.pl is a premium dealer of Opinel.


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.

    Cool little knife for a start. Easy to open, nice lock, sharp. The orange color is really great because it's hard to lose in the forest. Perfect for sharpening sticks and learning knife safety. My son is very satisfied.

    My five-year-old got it as his first tool for working in the forest. He is delighted, and mom also feels safe knowing he isn't using a machete :) For this price, it's an excellent tool that can be replaced with a more serious one after some time.

    Bought for the little one, but it turned out that the cutout on the blade isn't that friendly for small hands. The lock also isn't a great solution and she often forgets about it. For now, it's fine for playing in the forest, but look around, maybe you'll find something better.

    The perfect small knife for trips abroad where knives aren’t really legal; this model doesn’t have a sharp tip, so you don’t have problems with the police like you would with a knife that has a sharp tip.

    Probably the only such knife on the market, folding with a round tip, which is its most important advantage. I always wanted this kind, because it's indispensable on trips where a sharp tip is not suitable for spreading, for jars, or soft delicate foods.

    Great little knife for a child. Today was my first time hiking in the mountains and playing with sticks along the way made the whole trip a fantastic memory for the kids. The knife is very nicely made and 100% from natural materials (no plastic). I recommend it, and I'm ordering a second for my other child.

    Another Opinel for my collection, and I bought it because I needed a pocketknife that I could use to scoop out the entire contents of a can, which is very difficult with those sharp-tipped ones. This is a specialized knife for canned foods.

    Perfect for my 8-year-old son when he became its user it serves to this day.

    Knife recommended for young users. In my case purchased for travel use. Perfect for spreading or safe use instead of a spoon with products of solid consistency. Perfect for cutting, safe tip even for an adult, considering all the 'razors' in our kits.

    I bought it for collecting purposes, but I must admit it's great!

    I chose it as my daughter's (7 years old) first knife. It's really sharp, we still use it in the kitchen, I haven't even sharpened it yet and it still does the job (1 year).
