The olive Opinel is always nice! An interesting experiment from Opinel, we'll see if they expand this line; there's no Virobloc ring lock here - instead, there is some equivalent of a 'spring', meaning a slip joint. Apparently, the idea is for this knife to be practically legal everywhere, including the most restrictive countries. That's also why the blade tip is rounded.

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.

Beautiful walnut wood on the handle. My EDC set is in these darker browns and this Opinel fits perfectly. Proven classic, I recommend it.

An iconic traditional French pocketknife. It has a lot of elegance, whereas Swiss knives lean more towards industrial perfectionism. The wood is beautiful. I recommend it.
