Opinel No.12 Slim Beech folding knife

Robust yet remarkably lightweight folding knife from the Slim series, featuring a 12 cm, locking blade. A classic offering from a French brand renowned for over a century of craftsmanship. Outfitted with a Trailing Point blade profile, crafted from Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. The blade is produced with a full flat grind approaching a zero-grind edge, and its slim profile delivers exceptional cutting performance. Ideally suited for filleting tasks.

simple and reliable Virobloc locking mechanism

A notch on the blade allows for easy opening, reminiscent of Victorinox pocket knives. In the open position, the blade is secured by the patented Viroblock lock introduced in 1955. This steel ring, positioned at the blade's pivot on the handle, is rotated a few degrees after deployment to cover the blade gap, effectively immobilizing the blade. When folded, the same mechanism guards against unintentional opening.

shaped handle made from beech wood

Crafted from beech wood, the handle features a clear, abrasion-resistant varnish for enhanced durability. Designed with ergonomics in mind, it ensures a firm, reliable grip during use. A key benefit of the handle lies in its adaptability—it can be easily customized by drilling a hole at the rear for attaching a safety cord. The handle’s surface can also be textured, carved, or stained in any preferred color for a personalized touch.

Opinel


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.

    Opinel is a brand that has enjoyed a reputation among folding knife enthusiasts for years. The Opinel No.12 Slim Beech model is an elegant, lightweight, and extremely functional version of the classic Opinel. The slim design and high-quality materials make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate aesthetics and practicality. It is worth noting the quality of the grinds and the tip finish, as there can be some that are uneven.
