Opinel carbon-steel folding knife

Every Frenchman must have his own Opinel and this is the traditional one made of carbon steel, which is easy to get extremely sharp. It guarantees excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding. The only downside is that carbon steel can corrode. We advise you to avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use. The handle is made of French beechwood. The knife has a safety ring, invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
