Traditional Carbon Steel Blade

Each Opinel Carbon Steel knife features a high-carbon steel blade designed to provide excellent sharpness and cutting performance.

Carbon steel is particularly valued for its ability to take a very fine edge and its ease of sharpening. However, unlike stainless steel, carbon steel requires additional care to protect it from moisture and corrosion.

Carbon Steel Benefits

• Excellent sharpness
• Takes a fine cutting edge
• Easy to sharpen
• Traditional blade material
• Reliable everyday cutting performance
• Ideal for outdoor and utility tasks

Traditional Wooden Handle

The natural wooden handle is an essential part of the classic Opinel design.

Lightweight and comfortable in the hand, its simple ergonomic shape provides excellent control while keeping the overall knife easy to carry.

Virobloc Safety Ring

The Opinel No. 6, 7, 8 and 9 feature the distinctive Virobloc safety ring.

This rotating collar provides a simple way to secure the blade, adding extra security while maintaining the uncomplicated construction that makes Opinel folding knives so popular.

Caring for Your Carbon Steel Opinel

Carbon steel provides excellent cutting performance but requires more care than stainless steel.

For best results:

• Keep the blade clean and dry
• Avoid storing the knife while damp
• Dry the blade after use
• Apply a suitable protective oil when required
• Sharpen the blade regularly to maintain its cutting edge

Over time, carbon steel may naturally develop a patina. This is a normal characteristic of the material and gives each knife its own distinctive appearance.

Lightweight & Practical

The Opinel Carbon Steel Folding Knife is compact enough for your camping equipment, fishing tackle, gardening kit or toolbox.

With four sizes available, you can choose the right combination of blade length, handle size and portability for your intended use.
