Opinel Stainless Steel Folding Knife, Beechwood Handles, Made in France

Product Description of Opinel Folding Knives No. 02 - No. 05

The Opinel Folding Knives No.02 - No.05 are the smallest of their kind, perfect for use as letter openers or box openers. Despite their small size, these knives feature the signature Opinel blade with a beechwood handle, making them perfectly pocketable. The No.2 measures under 2 inches when folded, while the No.5 comes with a closed length of 3 inches (5.5 inches when opened).

In addition to their convenient size, these knives are also lightweight due to their simple design and sustainable wooden handle. However, it is important to note that they do not feature the Virobloc safety ring due to their small size.

Caring for your Opinel knives is essential to maintain their quality. These wooden-handle knives are not dishwasher safe, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell, making it difficult to open. Opinel recommends hand-washing the knife and immediately drying the blade with a soft, dry towel, as well as lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing to prevent oxidation.

Opinel has a rich heritage, with a history dating back to 1890 when Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife. The brand still manufactures its knives in the Savoie region of France, with a dedicated team of 150 employees producing over 5 million knives each year. Opinel remains committed to the values of quality and simplicity that Joseph Opinel established over 130 years ago.

The Opinel Folding Knives No.06 - No.12 are available for purchase, along with a range of other products such as the Opinel Slim Fillet Series, Opinel Colorama, and Opinel No.12 Folding Saw. These options come with varying price points, handle options, blade steels, blade lengths, and overall lengths to suit different preferences and needs.

Opinel's commitment to sustainability is evident in its choice of materials - the brand uses sustainably sourced wood from French woodlands, meeting strict standards for social responsibility and the environment.

In conclusion, the Opinel Folding Knives No.02 - No.05 offer a perfect combination of functionality, craftsmanship, and tradition. With their small size, lightweight design, and rich history, these knives continue to be a timeless classic in the world of pocket knives.
