Perfect for the trekking
Ideal for outdoor activities and sports, the N°06 is also practical
and efficient for daily manual work (small crafts and sewing).
Its size is particularly suited to the most petty hands.
Its stainless steel blade is corrosion-resistant. The handle is comfortable
in the hand. The security system, the Virobloc®, blocks the blade in open
position and closed position.
Blade length
7 cm
Sandvik stainless steel 12C27M
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.Blade hardness 57-58 HRC
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.
Handle
Coming from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal
for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against
moisture and dirt.
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).
