Opinel Slim line 10 Ebony Pocket Knife

Ebony is a rare and luxurious wood that originates from the forests of Africa. Due to its beautiful density and deep black color, ebony has traditionally been used in marquetry. To attain a velvet touch, a specific wax is manually applied to each handle.

The handle of the knife is made of ebony, a rare and luxurious wood from the forests of Africa. The density and deep black color of ebony make it an ideal choice for traditional use in marquetry.

The blade of the knife is made of Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, which is double polished to achieve a mirror effect. All slim knives have a narrow and flexible blade, with the smallest ones being great for cutting fruits and vegetables, and the larger ones used for filleting fish.

This knife is equipped with Virobloc safety rings, which were invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955 and are fitted to all folding knives in sizes No6 through No12. The Virobloc, cut out of stainless steel, consists of two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open for safety while in use, it is now possible to lock the blade closed for safety on the go.
