Opinel Round Tipped Blade at 8cm size.

Flexible and thin, it is carefully sharpened on a diamond wheel to get a razor-sharp cut. Ideal for filleting a fish, slicing thinly or as a pocket knife to take everywhere, the slim knife is for those who want a fine, delicate and clean cut.

Sandvik Stainless Steel

We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.

Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).

Available in the following blade lengths:

8cm: The small slim knife, chic and feminine.

10cm: Ideal for filleting a fish and slicing thinly.

12cm: Thin blade and clean cut.

15cm: Thin blade and clean cut.

Bubinga is a compact African wood with a fine grain. Its color varies from brown to pink with purple veins.

The mythical tree of the Mediterranean! This hard wood has a yellow to orange appearance and has a dense and often tortuous veining. Soft to the touch it has a nice polish.

Cleaning

With your Opinel open, run warm water on the blade and wipe with a sponge and washing-up liquid. Rinse the blade with warm water while taking care not to soak the wooden handle. Leave the blade to dry before closing (this is not necessary for plastic handles).

Important: Do not immerse your knife in water as this could warp the wooden handle.
