Opinel Folding Knives - Children's Garden Table and Kitchen Accessories - No.12 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife

The No.12 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife from the brand Opinel is possibly one of the best camping knives on the market, backed by 130+ years of history. Weighing less than 4 oz, this incredibly durable knife comes with a wood handle that does not transmit heat or cold to the hand. The blade is designed to maximize cutting quality and is easy to sharpen after years of use. Whether in the garden, at the dinner table, or on your next adventure, this knife is versatile and practical. Store it in your pocket, purse, or toolbox, and it will last for years to come.

The patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism ensures the knife stays safely closed in your pocket and locks the blade open during use. The knife’s design is simple and sustainable, making it lightweight and easy to use. The Opinel folding knife is composed of 5 elements: the blade, wooden handle, fixed ferrule, rivet, and rotating VIROBLOC locking ring, which was added in 1955 to sizes No.06 and above. The knife features a 4.82-inch blade and an open length of 11.04 inches.

To care for your knife, avoid washing it in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell, making it hard to open at times. Instead, hand-wash the knife carefully and dry the blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife is recommended to prevent oxidation.

The Opinel No.12 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife is made in the French Alps, where the first pocket knife was designed in 1890.
