This ball is like Dakota Lyn, beautiful and natural, without plastic or unnecessary gimmicks. It's also like automotive engineering from the 80s – charmingly analog, with a feature that works without being digital tech smart AI or any of those other fancy things that don’t work without batteries, wi-fi, or a VPN. A small work of gardening and bushcraft art – you can fall in love with it!
Compact and lightweight folding wood saw featuring a 120 mm stainless steel blade. Double-sided milling guarantees excellent cutting performance.
Once opened, the blade is secured by the patented 1955 Virobloc lock. A sturdy steel ring on the handle, positioned at the axis of the blade’s rotation, locks the tool safely in place. After deploying the saw, rotate the ring a few degrees so it covers the blade slot in the handle, preventing any movement. Use the same mechanism to lock the saw closed and prevent unintentional opening.
Crafted from beech wood, the handle has an ergonomic design for a comfortable and secure hold. Its modifiability is a notable bonus—drill a hole at the end for a safety lanyard, engrave patterns, or stain it in any color of your choice.

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 No. 08 folding knife, 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 remains a hallmark of the brand to this day. 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 became part of the collections of MoMA in New York. Production takes place in Chambery, with an emphasis on quality and ecology - the wood comes from French forests, and waste is used to heat the facility. Well-known users included Pablo Picasso, who used an Opinel for carving, and the knives themselves became a symbol of simplicity, durability, and the French way of life.

A brilliant saw for cutting wood. However, you must remember to always cut towards yourself, never away, as it can break. Very good lock, works smoothly and locks well.
