Classic and exceptionally lightweight folding knife from the French manufacturer Opinel, which has been producing knives for almost 100 years. The thin flat-ground 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 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. By following these principles, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
A well-shaped beech wood handle guarantees a secure and comfortable grip. The blade lock is formed by a rotating ring, which was patented back in 1955 under the name virobloc.
This knife will be appreciated by anyone looking for a traditional, simple, and functional knife. It is also an excellent candidate for an original gift.
