Opinel My First No.7 Box Set with Sheath - Children's Stainless Steel Folding Pocket Knife with Rounded Safety Tip

The No. 7 My First Opinel Folding Knife is designed with safety in mind, featuring a round-tipped blade to prevent accidental injuries. The knife's patented Virobloc locking ring secures the blade in both the open and closed positions, ensuring safe transport and use.

This scout knife is the perfect tool for children to learn valuable skills like carving, whittling, and food preparation. However, it is important to note that this is a sharp knife, and young users should be supervised at all times.

Opinel utilizes high-quality Sandvik® 12C27 Modified stainless steel for the blade, which is renowned for its anti-corrosive properties and requires minimal maintenance. The carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge that is easy to keep sharp.

The simplicity of the knife's design, combined with its sustainable wooden handle, makes the Opinel folding knife lightweight and durable. The patented Virobloc locking mechanism ensures the blade stays safely closed in your pocket and securely locked open during use.

Measuring 3.5 inches in blade length and 6.5 inches when open, the My First Opinel + Sheath is the perfect size for everyday carry. The included sheath, made from repurposed leather and recycled plastic bottles, provides a responsible solution for storage and transport.

Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity of your Opinel wooden-handled knife. The knife should be hand-washed and air-dried, as the heat and moisture of a dishwasher can cause the wood to swell, making the knife difficult to open.

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.

Opinel's history dates back to 1890, when Joseph Opinel designed the first pocket knife in his workshop at the foot of the French Alps. Since then, generations of artists, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable and imminently useful Opinel knife.

Today, the Opinel family continues to manufacture their knives in the Savoie region of France, with a team of 150 employees producing over 5 million knives each year. This commitment to quality and simplicity honors Joseph Opinel's vision, making the Opinel knife a timeless classic.
