Opinel

Opinel is a renowned French manufacturer of pocket knives, established in 1890 by Joseph Opinel in the French Alps. Initially crafted for local farmers and laborers, the Opinel knife quickly gained popularity for its simplicity, reliability, and affordability. The iconic design features a beechwood handle and a high-carbon steel blade, with a locking mechanism known as the Virobloc® introduced in 1955 to secure the blade in both open and closed positions. Today, Opinel continues to produce a wide range of knives, including specialized models for outdoor activities such as hunting, camping, and fishing.
