SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Opinel No.10 Opinel x Shiori folding knife is a true testament to the art of blade forging and craftsmanship. Created as a limited edition of only 200 knives available in the United States, this collaboration between Opinel and a Japanese master blacksmith brings together the finest traditions from two cultures. The 3.92" blade is made of multi-layer VG7 steel, meticulously forged and hammered in Japan, ensuring an edge that is both sharp and durable. This superior steel construction provides exceptional performance, making it ideal for culinary use while still maintaining the compact portability of a folding knife.
