Product Description THE No. 12 EXPLORE OUTDOOR FOLDING KNIFE
The No.12 Explorer outdoor folding knife is equipped with a short, robust blade that ensures precise cutting. The handle is made from multi-material, fiber-reinforced to endure extreme temperatures, impact, and exposure to water. At the heel of the handle, you will find a 110 decibel whistle, a flint fire-starter, a steel cutting hook for twine and large game. The hook is detachable for easy cleaning and features a hole for securing the knife with a lanyard or clip. This feature-rich design provides functional tools beyond just the blade, making it the knife of choice for paragliders, sailors, hunters, and gatherers across the globe.
The Opinel folding knife is perfect for everyday carry, featuring a simple yet smart design composed of 5 elements: the blade, the handle, the fixed ferrule, the rivet, and the rotating VIROBLOC locking ring. This VIROBLOC locking ring was added in 1955 to sizes No.06 and above, ensuring the safety of the user.
In order to care for your knife, Opinel recommends hand-washing and air-drying, as the knives are not designed to be washed in the dishwasher. The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low maintenance, highly resistant to rust, and can be polished or cared for with simple organic oils.
The iconic Opinel knife has been made in the French Alps for over 130 years. Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in 1890, and from his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel knives have become a cult classic. The Opinel family still makes their knives in the Savoie region of France, adhering to a commitment to craftsmanship and quality. Each year, their team of 150 employees manufactures over 5 million knives, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all honoring Joseph Opinel’s focus on quality and simplicity.
Opinel is also known for their REMOVER TOOL, which is the safest and easiest way to remove unwanted biters, working on both people and pets. Packed with functional safety features, such as a pea-less whistle, a removable twine cutting or gutting hook, all within a polymer handle that resists wear and tear. The ViROBLOC COLLAR ensures the blade is securely opened or closed, and the thoughtful design provides functional tools beyond just the blade, making it the knife of choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
