Description

The Mon premier Opinel knife from the famous French brand. This version for children has the same properties as the traditional Opinel except that the blade has a rounded tip. My first Opinel allows children to have their own knife to go for walks in the forest. This knife is recommended for all adventurers' seeds. Designed more than 120 years ago by Joseph Opinel, the Opinel is a multi-purpose knife that is perfect for adventurers. It has an 8 cm stainless steel blade and a wooden handle. The Opinel is equipped with the Virobloc® security system. Opinel knives are made in France. We offer you the my first opinel knife in three colors: Beech Blue Fuchsia The handle: Made from hornbeam wood from French farms. This white wood with a faint grain is ideal for coloring it without losing the texture of the wood. Then, a varnish is applied to protect the handle from humidity and dirt. The curved shape of the handle allows a good grip of the knife. The blade: The Yatagan blade is the traditional Opinel blade. Its particular shape with a raised tip is inspired by a saber of Turkish origin. The blade has a rounded profile obtained by grinding which gives it robustness and facilitates its resharpening. The stainless steel used is of European origin. It is a martensitic stainless steel with a hardness of 55-57 HRC which offers great resistance to corrosion and very good mechanical performance. This blade has an excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion. It can therefore easily be brought into contact with hard materials. Re-sharpening and the blade will regain all its sharpness. Very robust, it will still show its limits if it is placed in prolonged contact with materials or in an abrasive environment. (salt water, acid, etc.). Stainless steel does not require any special maintenance. The Virobloc® safety ring: Marcel Opinel invented this safety system for folding knives in 1955. This stainless steel ring consists of two parts: one sliding and the other fixed. By turning it, it locks the knife in the open position to facilitate its use. Since then, the Virobloc® system has been improved to also allow the knife to be locked in the closed position and thus also secure its transport.
