OPINEL Stainless Steel Folding Pocket Knife, Premium Woods (No. 09/Cime)

The timeless aesthetic of Opinel's traditional pocket knife is enhanced by the nobility of exceptional materials: oak, walnut, olive, padouk, ebony, or laminated birch. Always with sustainability in mind, our women-led artisan workshop in the French Alps also re-uses scraps of precious wood essences to create one-of-a-kind folding knives.

FEATURES

• The No.09 Cime celebrates the beauty of summits - whether mountain peaks or wave crests. Crafted with a harmonious combination of three contrasting woods native to France: Black Walnut, Ash and Sycamore Maple
• INOX BLADE: We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge and is easily sharpened.
• THE CROWNED HAND: In 1565 King Charles IX commanded every knife maker to stamp an emblem on their products to guarantee their origin and quality. In 1909 in order to honor this tradition Joseph Opinel chose the Crowned Hand as his emblem
• PATENTED VIROBLOC: A hallmark of Opinel everyday carry knives since its invention in 1955, the Virobloc ring offers a unique, thoughtful, and easy to use safety mechanism for locking the blade during use, during transport, and during storage
• FRENCH HERITAGE: For over 130 years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. Much like Joseph Opinel did from his workshop in 1890, today we still manufacture Opinel products from our factory in Chambery, France.
