The Opinel No.07 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife: The Perfect In-Between Size

Designed and perfected over generations, this knife features a blade that maximizes cutting quality and is easy to sharpen, making it versatile for use in the garden, at the dinner table, or on your next adventure.

The Right Features at the Right Cost Opinel utilizes high-quality Sandvik® 12C27 Modified stainless steel for the blade, renowned for its anti-corrosive properties and requiring minimal upkeep.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship 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 that has been carried by generations of artists, explorers, and farmers. Today, the Opinel family continues this tradition of quality and craftsmanship, manufacturing over 5 million knives annually in the Savoie region of France with a team of 150 dedicated employees.

In addition to the No.07, the Opinel line includes a variety of sizes and models, from the compact No.06 to the larger No.12, as well as specialized knives for outdoor, kitchen, and multi-tool use. Each Opinel knife is a testament to the brand's enduring commitment to simplicity, functionality, and the mastery of traditional techniques.
