INOX Stainless Steel Carbon Steel non-stainless OPINEL Collector Knives OPINEL Pocket Knives

The OPINEL Philosophy: Simple, lightweight, and extremely sharp

The distinctive geometry of the traditional Yatagan blade grants in combination with the precise convex grind an excellent cutting performance with minimal effort. The patented Virobloc safety system reliably locks the blade in both the open and closed positions, which effectively minimizes the risk of accidents during demanding outdoor activities or manual work. The extremely low dead weight of the fine-grained beechwood handle makes this French pocket knife an unobtrusive but always ready companion in everyday life.

Size Guide: Which OPINEL size is the right one?

The classic OPINEL knives are traditionally divided into fixed index numbers from No. 02 to No. 13. To facilitate your targeted selection for your specific requirement profile, the following overview provides a detailed orientation on the respective blade lengths and intended uses:

Opinel No. 02 to No. 05	Blade lengths from 3.5 cm to 6 cm. Perfect as a fine tool for the keychain, manicure, or filigree micro-tasks without a safety ring.
Opinel No. 06 & No. 07	Blade lengths of 7 cm and 8 cm. The ideal companions for smaller Hände, youths (Scouts), or as a lightweight pocket knife when hiking. Equipped with the Virobloc safety ring from No. 06 onwards.
Opinel No. 08	Blade length 8.5 cm – The worldwide classic! The best-selling size. Perfectly balanced for everyday carry (EDC), snacks, carving, or outdoor activities.
