Medium-sized, ultra-light folding knife featuring a 7 cm locking blade. A timeless classic from a renowned French manufacturer with a heritage spanning over a century.
Model from the Opinel Colorama collection, equipped with a handle in Sage Green.
The blade sports a clip point design, crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel and polished to a satin semi-matte sheen. Engineered with a flat-full grind nearly reaching a zero-grind, together with a slim blade profile, this configuration delivers outstanding cutting efficiency.
Blade deployment is facilitated by a notch, akin to those found in Victorinox pocket knives. When opened, the blade is secured by the patented Viroblock locking mechanism from 1955—a steel safety ring on the handle, positioned at the blade’s pivot. A slight rotation of the ring after opening covers the blade slot in the handle, locking the blade securely. Likewise, after closing, the lock prevents unintentional opening. A simple yet remarkably effective safety system.
Crafted from beech wood, the handle is ergonomically contoured to offer a secure, comfortable, and warm grip. Additionally, the handle lends itself well to personal customization, easily accepting texturing or carving.
An excellent companion for camping or wilderness excursions, especially suited for those who appreciate tradition and natural materials.
