Opinel Pocket Knife No. 09 with Olive Wood Handle and 12C27 Steel

Opinel No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife - Premium Wood Edition

The Opinel No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is a versatile tool suitable for a variety of tasks. Its large profile makes it ideal for bushcraft, wood carving, and longer cuts, while still being compact enough to fit in a toolbox or backpack for camping trips. The blade has been meticulously designed and perfected over generations to ensure exceptional cutting quality and easy sharpening. Whether it's in the garden, at the dinner table, or on your next adventure, this knife is a reliable companion that can be kept in your pocket, purse, or toolbox for years to come.

The knife is composed of five key elements: the blade, the wooden handle, the fixed ferrule, the rivet, and the rotating VIROBLOC locking ring, which was added in 1955 to the No.06 and above sizes. With a 3.51-inch blade and an open length of 8.18 inches, it is the perfect size for everyday carry.

When it comes to care, Opinel advises against washing their wooden-handle knives in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell and make the knife difficult to open. Instead, hand-washing and air-drying are recommended. The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low-maintenance and highly resistant to rust, requiring only simple organic oils for polishing and care.

Opinel knives have been crafted in the French Alps for over 130 years. Founded by Joseph Opinel in 1890, the brand has remained true to its commitment to quality, simplicity, and functionality. The iconic Opinel knife has been carried by generations of artists, explorers, and farmers, with little change since its inception. Today, a team of 150 employees in France produces over 5 million knives annually to honor Joseph Opinel's legacy.

In addition to the No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife, Opinel offers a range of sizes and styles, from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all maintaining the brand's focus on quality and simplicity. Among them are the No.06, No.07, No.08, No.10, and No.12 Stainless Steel Folding Knives.

With thousands of positive customer reviews, it's clear that Opinel knives have earned a reputation for their quality and performance. The No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife, with its rustproof Sandvik 12c27 steel, Virobloc safety ring, and olive wood handle, is a testament to Opinel's enduring legacy and dedication to crafting exceptional knives.
