Opinel No.6 Knife – Carbon Steel

Ideal for outdoor activities and sports, the N°06 is also practical and efficient for daily manual work (small crafts and sewing). Its size is particularly suited for smaller hands.

Blade: Opinel’s carbon steel is extremely hard, thereby guaranteeing excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding. Carbon can corrode easily, so it is advisable that you avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use.

Handle: Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. With a homogeneous appearance, its light colour varies from yellow to pink, and it is characterised by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.

Virobloc safety ring: Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N°06. 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 now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).

Blade Length: 7cm
