THE OPINEL FOLDING KNIVES: SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN PERFORMANCE
Opinel's No.02 to No.05 folding knives are the smallest in the product line, but they pack a punch. These diminutive blades may be compact, but they boast the same iconic Opinel design and quality that has made the brand a household name.
PERFECTLY POCKETABLE Ranging from the tiny No.2 at under 2 inches when folded, to the No.5 at a closed length of 3 inches (5.5 inches open), these knives are meant to go wherever you go. Their small stature makes them the perfect companion for everyday tasks like opening letters or packages. However, due to their size, they do not feature the Virobloc safety ring found on larger Opinel models.
THE RIGHT FEATURES AT THE RIGHT COST The simplicity of the Opinel design and its sustainably sourced beechwood handle make these knives lightweight and affordable. Despite their compact size, they still boast the same high-quality blades and materials that Opinel is known for. The absence of the Virobloc safety ring is a trade-off for their petite proportions.
CARING FOR YOUR OPINEL As with all Opinel wooden-handled knives, these mini versions should be hand-washed and immediately dried to prevent the wood from swelling. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing is also recommended to prevent oxidation.
ROOTED IN FRENCH HERITAGE Joseph Opinel first designed his iconic pocket knife in 1890, creating a tool that has stood the test of time. From his workshop in the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic that has since been embraced by artists, explorers, and everyday users alike.
Today, the Opinel family continues this legacy, manufacturing over 5 million knives per year in the Savoie region of France. Each blade honors Joseph Opinel's vision of quality and simplicity, making them instantly recognizable and genuinely useful.
EXPLORE THE OPINEL PRODUCT LINE In addition to the compact No.02-No.05 models, Opinel offers a wide range of folding knives, from the No.06 to the large No.12, all featuring the brand's signature design. Customers can also choose from a variety of handle materials, including stainless steel, premium woods, and the vibrant Colorama series.
