Opinel No.06 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife with Beechwood Handle

The No.06 Carbon Steel pocket knife is the smallest model in the range, with a Virobloc safety ring for secure locking. Despite its small size, this pocket knife is incredibly durable and non-threatening. The blade is carefully crafted to deliver exceptional cutting quality and can be easily sharpened, making it perfect for use in the garden, at the dinner table, or when you're out on an adventure. The knife is designed to be carried in your pocket, purse, or toolbox, and we are confident that it will be a beloved companion for years to come.

The patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism keeps the knife securely closed while in your pocket and ensures that the blade remains open during use. With a sustainable wooden handle, the knife is also lightweight, making it convenient for everyday use.

The Opinel folding knife features five key elements: the blade, the wooden handle, the fixed ferrule, the rivet, and the rotating VIROBLOC locking ring. The knife boasts a 2.87-inch blade, an open length of 6.5 inches, and is extremely efficient at just 42 grams.

To care for your knife, it is important to note that Opinel wooden-handle knives should not be washed in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to swell, making it difficult to open. Instead, hand-wash the knife and dry the blade immediately with a soft, dry towel. It is also recommended to lubricate the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife to prevent oxidation.
