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 is ideal for sharpening and honing thanks to its properties. Carbon steel is highly resistant to dulling. To maintain its best qualities, it is necessary to take proper care of the carbon steel. Therefore, it is advisable to dry the knife after each use and wipe it with oil. By following these principles, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
The well-shaped beech wood handle guarantees a firm and comfortable grip. The blade lock consists of a rotating ring, which was patented back in 1955 under the name virobloc.
The knife will be appreciated by everyone looking for a traditional, simple, and functional knife. It is also an excellent candidate for an original and useful gift.
