Medium-sized folding knife, notably lightweight, featuring a 7-centimeter locking blade. The blade, designed in a Clip-Point profile, is crafted from stainless steel and finished with a semi-matte polish. Thanks to a flat-full grind that nearly reaches zero-grind and minimal blade thickness, outstanding cutting performance is ensured.
A notch on the blade allows for easy opening, much like Victorinox pocket knives. When in the open position, the patented Virobloc lock from 1955 secures the blade. This lock consists of a steel ring on the handle at the blade’s rotation axis; after deployment, simply rotate the ring slightly to cover the blade slot, preventing accidental movement. The same mechanism protects against unintentional opening once the knife is folded.
The handle is constructed from olive wood, ergonomically contoured for a reliable grip. Its structure also allows for customization—users can easily drill a lanyard hole at the end for added security or personalize it by carving, texturing, or staining to a preferred finish.

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.
