giving it an appearance that differs from any other wood.

gift box with a black suedette pouch.

This knife can be personalised.

Handle

Le Béli est un bois issu de forêts du Gabon, son veinage très

prononcé entre brun foncé et brun doré lui donne un aspect incomparable.

Le manche est verni.

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).
