The Opinel Traditional Classic No.09 Pocket Knife with 9 cm Stainless Steel blade is reliable and robust, it is a multi-use tool for all handymen.

Its stainless steel blade is corrosion-resistant. Martensitic Stainless Steel. Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent).

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shaped blade. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.

Opinel security system, the Virobloc® Safety Ring locks the blade in open position and closed position. 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).

Its beech wood handle makes it feels secure and comfortable in the hand. Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, Opinels beech wood is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.
