The carbon blade No4 is our 3rd smallest model and does not feature the Virobloc safety ring.
This tiny knife is commonly used to perform small tasks such as opening letters or cutting papers.
This is a very small knife; please review its size before considering it.
Our carbon steel is extremely hard, thereby ing excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding. Carbon can corrode easily. We advise you to avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use.
Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small, -dark dashes.
THE Opinel FOLDING KNIFE WAS BORN IN THE Savoie REGION OF FRANCE IN 1890 AND HAS BECOME A UNIVERSAL OBJECT DUE TO ITS WIDE USE AND POPULARITY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. A GENUINE TRIGGER OF MEMORIES, IT IS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE BEST KNIVES IN THE WORLD. WITH THE SAME ATTENTION TO SIMPLICITY AND RELIABILITY, Opinel HAS DESIGNED OTHER RANGES OF KNIVES AND TOOLS FOR ALL THOSE WHO APPRECIATE EFFECTIVE CUTTING. A SIMPLE, ROBUST AND FAITHFUL TOOL, THIS ESSENTIAL LITTLE KNIFE HAS BEEN IN THE POCKETS OF THE GREATEST ARTISTS, ADVENTURERS, NAVIGATORS AND MOUNTAINEERS INCLUDING PABLO PICASSO, ROGER Frison ROCHE, Alain COLAS, ERIC Tabarly, JEAN-LOUIS ETIENNE, ELLEN MAC ARTHUR, PAUL Bocuse AND MANY MORE. A CONSTANT LANDMARK, CITED IN COUNTLESS BOOKS AND SONGS, Opinel HAS RISEN TO THE STATUS OF A TIMELESS CULT OBJECT, AN UNAVOIDABLE SYMBOL OF FRENCH CULTURE.
