A generously sized yet notably lightweight folding knife from the Slim line, featuring a 12-centimeter locking blade. A timeless creation from the esteemed French manufacturer, boasting over a century of tradition.

The Trailing Point blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish. Finished with a full flat grind near zero-grind, its slender blade profile delivers exceptional cutting performance. Ideally suited for precise filleting tasks.

A notch on the blade allows for smooth opening, reminiscent of Victorinox pocket knives. Once unfolded, the patented Viroblock system (introduced in 1955) secures the blade. This steel ring, positioned at the blade pivot on the handle, rotates to cover the blade groove after opening, reliably locking the blade in place. The same mechanism prevents accidental opening when the knife is closed.

The handle is constructed from padauk wood and finished with a clear, abrasion-resistant varnish. Ergonomically contoured for a secure, stable hold. Customization options add value—the handle can be drilled at the end for a lanyard hole, or further personalized with engraving, texturing, or staining to a preferred color.

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.
