Opinel stainless steel

Description: Stainless steelThe famous Savoie stainless steel knife is your ideal companion for activities outside, whether it's a picnic, bivouacking, barbecuing or hiking. Different sizes can be adapted to different hand sizes and uses. With its stainless steel blade, this pocket knife is corrosion-resistant, does not require any particular maintenance and ensures excellent cutting quality. Yatagan blade The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding. Sandvik stainless steel We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge. Handle Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, our beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes. Safety ring Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport). Quick Facts NO.7 WEIGHT: 1.3 oz / 36 gramsBLADE LENGTH: 3.0 in / 77 mmBLADE MATERIAL: Carbon steel or Stainless steelHANDLE MATERIAL: BeechwoodLOCKING MECHANISM: Yes (open and closed) The Opinel pocket knife we have chosen to review here is the Opinel No. 7, which has a blade length of 3 inches. However the Opinel pocket knives are manufactured in a variety of sizes ranging from No. 2 (1.4 inch / 35 mm blade) up to No. 12 (4.7 inch / 120 mm). So you can certainly dial in your perfect size!It really is a family of knives! Ranging from the No. 2 (1.4 inch blade) through to No. 12 (4.7 inch blade)." data-lightbox-theme="dark" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1574540686114_129" style="line-height: 0; text-align: center; position: relative; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 212.988px;">IT REALLY IS A FAMILY OF KNIVES! RANGING FROM THE NO. 2 (1.4 INCH BLADE) THROUGH TO NO. 12 (4.7 INCH BLADE).For lightweight backpacking adventures, where the majority of tasks will be cooking and perhaps the odd repair job, we recommend either the:No. 6 (2.8 in / 70 mm blade)No. 7 (3.0 in / 77 mm blade)No. 8 (3.2 in / 82 mm blade) These sizes are sufficient for most cooking and campsite tasks, whilst also providing a knife that is lightweight and compact.HANDLEThe rounded handle on the Opinel No. 7 is big enough to be comfortable in your hand." id="yui_3_17_2_1_1574540686114_152" style="line-height: 0; text-align: center; position: relative; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 212.988px;">THE ROUNDED HANDLE ON THE OPINEL NO. 7 IS BIG ENOUGH TO BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR HAND.The beechwood handle is both relatively easy to hold and aesthetically pleasing. The rounded handle design used on the Opinel No. 7 is more comfortable for extended use than a slim handle like that found on the Kershaw Leek.We think that the No. 6 size upwards all have a large enough handle to make gripping the knife relatively easy. The material is somewhat smooth, but provides enough grip for all but the most heavy duty tasks.LOCKING MECHANISMAnother upside of choosing the No. 6 size or larger is that they include a locking mechanism ("safety ring"). The safety ring can be used to keep the knife locked closed during transport, or locked open during use. This feature is not available on the No. 5 knife or smaller.WEIGHTThe entire range of Opinel pocket knives are all lightweight relative to their blade length, their ease of use, and their quality. The Opinel No. 7 weighs only 1.3 ounces (36 grams) which is very lightweight for three inches of straight blade. For comparison, the Kershaw Leek — one of our other favourite backpacking knives — has a 2.9 inch blade but weighs in at 3.1 ounces.Nonetheless, if you are an ultralight hiker counting every ounce of your base weight, then perhaps consider the smaller sizes in the Opinel range. For instance, the Opinel No. 3 weighs in at only 7 grams which is outrageously light!We do offer delivery & pick up in Israel, prices does not include taxes.Please message us for more information.
