For several years, the Opinel artisan wood workshop has been producing outstanding knives and tools under the guidance of team leader Emeline Ducrocq. Their latest release reflects its commitment to precise design and luxury handles.
Featuring a hand-polished Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel blade, the Opinel No.09 Cime Stainless Steel Folding Knife offers impressive performance with an anti-corrosive chrome layer that guarantees the edge will last for years without any special maintenance. The blade, which also incorporates a minimum of 0.40% carbon, is easy to sharpen and delivers a precise cutting edge.
Designed to celebrate the beauty of mountain summits, the Opinel No.09 Cime Stainless Steel Folding Knife uses a harmonious balance of three different types of wood to achieve the bold and stunning handle effect. Black walnut, sycamore apple, and ash wood elements merge to deliver a patterned aesthetic to the handle before blending into the premium blade.
Measuring 8.18 inches, the Opinel No.09 Cime Stainless Steel Folding Knife weighs just 2 ounces for smooth handling and performance. The blade length of 3.51 inches is ample for most daily tasks. The result is a knife that reflects Opinel’s long tradition in the field and its heritage at the heart of the French Alps.
Presented in a stylish gift box, the Opinel No.09 Cime Stainless Steel Folding Knife is another entry in the company’s impressive lineup that captures its unique and elegant manufacturing style.
