Opinel Stainless Steel Folding Knife, Beechwood Handles, Made in France (No.05)

Introducing the No.02 - No.05 Folding Knives

The No.02 - No.05 Folding Knives from Opinel are the smallest in the lineup. While they may be tiny, they feature the signature Opinel blade with a beechwood handle, making them ideal as letter openers or box openers. Despite their small size, these knives do not compromise on quality. Their compact size also makes them perfectly pocketable, with the No.2 measuring at under 2 inches when folded and the No.5 at a closed length of 3 inches (5.5 inches when opened).

These Folding Knives are designed to be small and portable, with the right features at the right cost. The simplicity of the knife's design and its sustainable wooden handle make the knife lightweight. They feature the same blades and handles you've come to expect from Opinel.

It's important to note that all Opinel wooden-handle knives are not designed to be washed in the dishwasher. Heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell, making the knife hard to open at times. Opinel recommends carefully hand-washing and immediately drying the blade with a soft, dry towel. It's also recommended to lubricate the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife to prevent oxidation.

Opinel knives have a rich legacy, with the first pocket knife being designed by Joseph Opinel in 1890. Today, the brand continues to manufacture their knives in the Savoie region of France, with a team of 150 employees manufacturing over 5 million knives annually.

The No.05 Folding Knife is a convenient everyday carry, and with over 130 years of French heritage, you can trust the quality and craftsmanship of Opinel products. The knives feature INOX blades made of Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, which are anti-corrosive and require no special maintenance. The handles are made from sustainable beech wood sourced from ecologically managed French woodlands.

In addition to the No.05 Folding Knife, Opinel offers a range of other folding knives, tools, and accessories designed to meet the needs of outdoor enthusiasts, collectors, and everyday users. Opinel continues to honor tradition and quality with the Crowned Hand emblem, further solidifying their commitment to excellence.
