Built for life on the water, the Opinel No. 09 Ocean Folding Knife Yellow with Marlin Spike Part Serrated Blade is engineered for sailors, boaters, and marine enthusiasts who demand performance, safety, and reliability in every task. Designed specifically for sailing and other marine activities, the No. 09 Ocean balances strength and efficiency with purpose-built features that simplify onboard maneuvers and enhance control in challenging conditions. It’s a dependable companion for serious sports enthusiasts who need a knife that performs wherever the sea takes them.
The knife features a 3.5-inch partially serrated blade made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a material prized for its corrosion resistance, sharpness, and ease of maintenance in marine environments. The serrated portion excels at cutting rope, cord, and other fibrous materials, while the plain edge ensures precise slicing for detailed tasks. Built-in into the design is a robust shackle key, allowing you to handle common maritime operations efficiently without adding extra tools to your kit.
Safety is a top priority on deck, and the No. 09 Ocean delivers. It features Opinel’s Virobloc® safety ring with double safety, locking the blade securely in both open and closed positions to prevent accidental slips during use. An anti-corrosion PVD coating adds an extra layer of protection, keeping the blade performing optimally even with constant exposure to saltwater.
The handle is molded from yellow and green reinforced polymer with fiberglass for strength and lightweight durability, while a cork grip zone enhances control, even when hands are wet or slippery. The integrated marlinspike is ideal for untying knots, splicing rope, and handling lines efficiently. For added safety, a built-in 110 dB whistle allows for signaling or communication across distance, while a lanyard hole ensures the knife can be attached securely to gear or a belt. Despite its feature-rich design, the knife weighs only 2.8 ounces and measures 8.25 inches overall, offering compact portability without sacrificing function.
Made in France with Opinel’s renowned attention to quality, the No. 09 Ocean Yellow Folding Knife combines cutting performance, marine-specific features, and safety innovations into a single versatile tool for life at sea. Its thoughtful design makes it a trusted companion for sailors, boaters, and marine adventurers alike.
