Classic and exceptionally lightweight folding knife from the French manufacturer Opinel, which has been making knives for almost 100 years. The flat-ground thin edge is made of carbon steel, which, thanks to its properties, is ideal for sharpening and honing. Carbon steel is highly resistant to dulling. To maintain its best characteristics, it is necessary to take proper care of carbon steel. Therefore, it is advisable to dry the knife and wipe it with oil after each use. If you follow these principles, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
A well-shaped beech wood handle guarantees a firm and comfortable grip. The blade lock consists of a rotating collar, which was patented back in 1955 under the name virobloc.
This knife will be appreciated by everyone looking for a traditional, simple and functional knife. It is also an excellent candidate for an original and practical gift.
