Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the beautiful French Alps for over 130 years. It all began in 1890 when Joseph Opinel started making knives in his workshop. Today, their factory in Chambery, France continues the tradition.
The Opinel #6 folder is a classic design featuring a stainless steel blade and a handle made from beech wood. It also includes the Virobloc safety ring, which securely locks the blade in both the open and closed positions.
This pocket knife is not only lightweight and affordable, but it also exudes a sense of simple elegance. Its reputation even extends to famous artists like Picasso, who used an Opinel to carve his sculptures. With such a rich history, the Opinel knife is truly something special.
