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

These folding knives, ranging from No.02 to No.05, are the smallest in the Opinel collection, making them perfect for tasks such as opening letters or boxes. Despite their tiny size, these knives feature the classic Opinel blade with a beechwood handle. They are designed to fit in just about any pocket and are perfect for on-the-go use.

Due to their small size, these knives do not include the Virobloc safety ring. The simplicity of their design and the sustainable wooden handle make them lightweight and practical. Opinel suggests that users carefully hand-wash these knives and immediately dry the blade with a soft, dry towel, as they are not dishwasher safe. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife is also recommended to prevent oxidation.

Since 1890, Opinel has been manufacturing knives and tools in the French Alps, honoring the tradition and commitment to quality established by Joseph Opinel. The knives' stainless steel blades are crafted using Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, which requires no special maintenance. The wooden handles are made of sustainable beechwood from responsibly managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and Jura mountains.

The Crowned Hand, used as an emblem by Joseph Opinel to honor tradition and quality, is proudly stamped on all Opinel products. Available in various sizes and handle options, these Opinel folding knives are versatile, practical, and made with a focus on quality and simplicity. They are an essential tool for artists, explorers, farmers, and anyone in need of a reliable and functional pocket knife.
