IT WITHSTANDS EVERYTHING, NOTHING CAN RESIST IT
Its very durable blade (2.5 mm thick) is serrated over 3.5 cm to cut natural or synthetic ropes and features a shackle key for shackles from 4 to 10 mm. Its handle is water-resistant and withstands extreme temperatures. It is equipped with a whistle.
- Blade size: 8.5 cm
Blade: Modified Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. It is corrosion-resistant thanks to the addition of chromium and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives it excellent sharpness.
Blade shape: The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, with the tip pointing upwards. The blade is sharpened with an exclusive convex profile that ensures blade strength and allows effective resharpening.
Haendel wood: Sourced from French forests, this lightly grained white wood is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt.
Safety ring: Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring equips all folding knives from No. 06 onwards. Made from stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (use safety), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (transport safety).
