A 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, 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 the carbon steel. Therefore, it is advisable to dry the knife after each use and wipe it with oil. By following these guidelines, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
The well-contoured 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 everyone looking for a traditional, simple, and functional knife. It is also an excellent candidate for an original and practical gift.
