THE RIGHT FEATURES AT THE RIGHT COST

Featuring Opinel's patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism, this knife securely stays closed in your pocket and locks the blade open during use. The knife's simple design and sustainable wooden handle also make it lightweight.

THE PERFECT SIZE FOR EVERYDAY CARRY

The Opinel folding knife consists of 5 elements: the blade, wooden handle, fixed ferrule, rivet, and the rotating VIROBLOC locking ring. In 1955, the VIROBLOC locking ring was added to sizes No.06 and above. This knife comes equipped with a 3.25-inch blade and an open length of 7.5 inches.

CARING FOR YOUR KNIFE

Opinel wooden-handle knives should not be washed in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell, making the knife difficult to open. It is recommended to hand wash the knife carefully and immediately dry the blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife can help prevent oxidation.

MADE IN THE FRENCH ALPS FOR OVER 130 YEARS

Joseph Opinel crafted his first pocket knife in 1890, creating a tool that is durable, functional, and beautifully simple. From his workshop at the base of the French Alps, Opinel established a cult classic. Today, the Opinel family continues to produce knives in the Savoie region of France, with a team of 150 employees crafting over 5 million knives annually. Their commitment to quality and simplicity honors Joseph Opinel's legacy.
