The famous and proven Opinel pocket knife with wooden handle, suitable for youth movement, vegetable gardening and all kinds of applications. Originally made for farmers in 1890 by Joseph Opinel, this pocket knife has been proving its worth for generations. This budget-friendly knife offers a choice between a blade made of carbon steel or stainless steel. Carbon steel is very easy and thin to sharpen and therefore very sharp, while still being very strong. Carbon steel is more prone to rust than stainless steel, though, so it needs to be kept clean and dry! The patented Virobloc system allows you to lock the blade in open or closed position by turning the ring at the beginning of the blade. FEATURES N°8: blade 8.5 cm / length open 19 cm N°9: blade 9 cm / length open 21 cm Virobloc locking Wooden handle Available in stainless steel or carbon steel version
