Opinel No.10 Folding Knife

Opinel No.10 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife

The Opinel No.10 is a folding knife that is much larger than a traditional pocket knife, making it a versatile and robust tool. While it can be kept in a pocket, it is also suitable for everyday use at the dinner table or in the garden. The blade has been crafted over generations to ensure maximum cutting quality and ease of sharpening. The Sandvik 12C27 Modified stainless steel blade is known for its anti-corrosive properties, requiring minimal maintenance and providing an excellent cutting edge. The VIROBLOC locking mechanism ensures safety when both carrying and using the knife.

A simple yet smart design, the Opinel folding knife consists of five elements: the blade, wooden handle, fixed ferrule, rivet, and VIROBLOC locking ring. At 9 inches when opened, the knife's size is suitable for everyday carry and capable of handling a variety of tasks. However, it's important to note that Opinel wooden-handle knives should not be washed in the dishwasher and should be carefully hand-washed to maintain the integrity of the wood.

Originating from the French Alps, Opinel knives have been crafted for over 130 years and remain a symbol of robust, functional, and elegant design. With a commitment to quality and simplicity, Opinel continues to manufacture their knives in the Savoie region of France. The Opinel No.10 is just one of many products in their range, which includes various handle options and blade lengths to suit different needs.

In addition to the No.10, Opinel offers other sizes, such as the No.06, No.07, No.08, and No.09, with varying blade lengths and overall dimensions that cater to different preferences. Along with folding knives, Opinel also offers a Slim Fillet Series, Colorama collection, and other kitchen and outdoor tools crafted with the same attention to quality and craftsmanship. Opinel's dedication to their heritage and commitment to producing high-quality knives ensures that their products will continue to be a favorite amongst outdoor enthusiasts and craftsmen, just as they have been for over a century.
