Children's Folding Pocket Knife with Safety Rounded Tip

The No.07 My First Opinel Folding Knife is the ideal choice for children, featuring a rounded blade for added safety. This knife incorporates Opinel's patented Virobloc locking ring, which securely locks the blade in both the open and closed positions, ensuring safe transportation and usage. Available in a range of vibrant colors, it is the perfect scout knife for children to learn valuable skills such as carving, whittling, and food preparation. However, it is essential to note that this is a sharp knife, and young users should be supervised at all times.

Opinel's commitment to quality is evident in their use of Sandvik(R) 12C27 Modified stainless steel for the blade. This Swedish steel is renowned for its exceptional anti-corrosive properties, requiring minimal maintenance. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, the blade provides an excellent cutting edge that is easy to keep sharp.

The patented Virobloc locking mechanism is a true asset, keeping the knife safely closed in your pocket and securely locking the blade open during use. The simplicity of the knife's design and its sustainable wooden handle make it a lightweight and practical choice.

The rounded tip of the Opinel folding knife makes it an excellent first introduction when teaching children the safest handling techniques. Composed of just five elements - the blade, the wooden handle, the fixed ferrule, the rivet, and the rotating Virobloc locking ring (added in 1955 to sizes No.06 and above) - the knife is both smart and simple.

To ensure the longevity of your Opinel knife, it is crucial to avoid washing it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wooden handle to swell, making the knife difficult to open. Opinel recommends carefully hand-washing the knives and allowing them to air dry.

The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low-maintenance, highly resistant to rust, and can be polished or cared for with simple organic oils.

Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in 1890, creating a tool that is as robust and functional as it is simple and beautiful. From his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic. Generations of artists, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable, imminently useful Opinel knife in their pockets.

Little has changed since 1890. Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family still manufactures their knives in the Savoie region of France. Each year, their team of 150 employees in France produces over 5 million knives, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all to honor Joseph Opinel's focus on quality and simplicity.
