A classic and exceptionally lightweight folding knife from the French manufacturer Opinel, which has been making knives for almost 100 years. The thin flat-ground 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 preserve 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 these guidelines are followed, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
The well-shaped beech wood handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip. The blade lock consists of a rotating ring that 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.
