Product information
The N°06 is the smallest Opinel equipped with the dual Virobloc safety system. Ideal for outdoor and sports activities, the N°06 is also suitable for daily handicrafts (chores and needlework). Its size is extremely suitable for small hands.
The stainless steel used for the Opinel blade is of optimized quality to ensure both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The blade has an excellent cutting edge and high wear resistance, keeping it sharp for a long time. It is resistant to regular contact with hard materials such as ceramics. Stainless steel has the advantage of being maintenance-free under normal use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent, etc.). Therefore, we also recommend washing by hand.
Yatagan shape
The traditional Opinel scimitar, or Yatagan. The shape is inspired by a Turkish sword with an upward-curving point. The blade is ground in an exclusive convex profile, which guarantees a strong blade and allows for easy and efficient resharpening.
Beechwood handle
Beechwood is typically used for the manufacture of Opinel handles. It comes from sustainable French forestry and is easy to work with. It has a homogeneous appearance and its bright color varies from yellow to pink. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous small dark streaks. The handle is treated with varnish to protect it from moisture and dirt.
Virobloc safety ring
The Virobloc safety ring was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, and all locking knives from N°06 upwards are equipped with it. Made of stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety in use), it is also possible to lock the blade in the closed position (safety during transport).
