Minimal Packaging: Opinel Knives are traditionally sold without any retail packaging to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Knives have been minimally packaged in clear plastic zip bags, fitted to the size of the knife
This knife features the Virobloc safety rings. Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives sizes No6 through No12. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding
In addition to locking the blade open (safety while in Use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety on the Go)
Easy to clean knives with a stainless steel blade are highly resistant and can be easily cleaned with a sponge, warm water and dishwashing liquid
Strength and resistance from woodwork to steelwork, as well as new materials like top-of-the-range synthetic polymers, our knives are designed to last a lifetime and will often be passed down from father to son
