Opinel No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife Beechwood

The Opinel No.09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is built for outdoor enthusiasts and those who take on serious tasks. Its larger size makes it a versatile tool, ideal for bushcraft, hunting, and any demanding job where a pocket knife simply won't cut it. Crafted with precision, the 3.51" clip point blade is made from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. This high-quality steel offers an exceptional balance of durability and edge retention while being anti-corrosive, thanks to the addition of chrome. The blade requires no special maintenance and, with a carbon content of at least 0.40%, sharpens easily, ensuring you're never left with a dull edge in the field.

The No. 09 features Opinel's signature Virobloc safety ring, a simple but highly effective locking mechanism that provides peace of mind during use. By twisting the ring clockwise, the blade is locked securely in place, ensuring it won't fold unexpectedly during operation. When not in use, a quick counterclockwise turn locks the blade in the closed position, making it safe to carry in your pack or pocket. This feature makes the No. 09 not only a reliable cutting tool but also a safe one for everyday use.

The handle of the No 09 is crafted from natural varnished Beechwood, offering a classic look and a comfortable grip. Beechwood is known for its strength and resistance to wear, making it an excellent choice for a knife that’s going to see regular use. At 4.67” when closed and weighing just 2.0 oz., the knife strikes a balance between being large enough for tough jobs and compact enough for easy carry. When fully open, the knife measures 8.18”, giving you plenty of reach for more substantial cutting tasks.

The Opinel No.09 is a well-rounded tool that performs reliably across a range of outdoor and practical applications. Its straightforward design, quality materials, and effective locking system make it a go-to for anyone who needs a knife that works as hard as they do.
