Opinel #7 ‘My First Opinel’ Knife with Pouch
Description
Opinel Childrens’ Knife – ‘My First Opinel’
The My First Opinel with Sheath is the perfect knife to teach kids how to whittle, cut, prune or carve wood. The sheath is made from recycled material and will stand the test of time. The knife has a stainless steel blade making it easy to maintain and take care of. The folding knife also features our patented Virobloc locking mechanism which keeps the blade safely closed for transport or securely open while in use. We suggest adult supervision when teaching kids to use the knife.
Blade
8 cm round-tipped secure blade with Virobloc double safety-ring.
Made from Sandvik stainless steel, it is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.
Hornbeam handle
Sourced from sustainable French forests, this white wood has few veins which makes it ideal for applying coloured varnish. The handle is varnished to protect it against moisture and dirt.
Safety ring
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).
