Opinel No. 09 Ocean Folding Knife Red W/Marlin Spike Part Serrate Blade OP003262

Designed for life on the water, the Opinel No. 09 Ocean Folding Knife Red with Marlin Spike Part Serrated Blade is built to perform wherever the sea takes you. Engineered specifically for sailing and marine activities, this knife balances strength, efficiency, and safety, making it an indispensable tool for serious sports enthusiasts and sailors who depend on reliable, high-performance gear in challenging conditions. Its purpose-built features simplify onboard maneuvers, streamline tasks, and provide confidence when handling lines, knots, and sails.

At the heart of the No. 09 Ocean is a 3.5-inch partially serrated blade made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. Known for its corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of maintenance, this blade performs in wet, salty environments without compromise. The partially serrated edge excels at cutting rope and other fibrous materials quickly, while the plain portion ensures precise slicing for detailed tasks. Integrated into the design is a robust shackle key, adding versatility for common maritime operations and on-deck adjustments.

Safety and reliability are central to the Ocean’s design. It features Opinel’s Virobloc® safety ring with double safety, locking the blade securely in both open and closed positions to prevent accidental slips. An anti-corrosion PVD coating enhances durability, protecting the blade from the harsh marine environment and ensuring it maintains performance even with frequent exposure to saltwater.

The handle is molded from red and blue reinforced polymer with fiberglass, offering strength, lightweight carry, and exceptional grip. A cork grip zone enhances control in wet or slippery conditions, while the integrated marlinspike allows for untying knots, splicing rope, or handling lines efficiently. A 110 dB whistle built into the handle provides an essential signaling option for emergencies or communication across distance, while the lanyard hole ensures the knife can be secured to gear or belt for quick access. Despite its comprehensive design, the knife weighs just 2.8 ounces and measures 8.25 inches overall, providing a compact, portable solution without sacrificing functionality.

Made in France with Opinel’s long-standing commitment to quality, the No. 09 Ocean Red is a purpose-built maritime tool that delivers dependable cutting performance, safety, and marine-specific features for life at sea. It’s the complete companion for sailors and marine adventurers who demand more from their gear.
