Opinel No. 04 Folding Knife Beechwood

The Opinel No.04 Folding Knife Beechwood is a testament to simple, reliable craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Made in France and designed for versatility, this compact knife offers excellent functionality while remaining true to Opinel’s traditional roots. The No.04 is a small but capable knife, perfect for daily carry or as an addition to your outdoor gear.

Featuring a 2-inch XC90 carbon steel clip point blade, this knife excels in slicing tasks and precise cutting. The blade's carbon steel composition ensures it holds an edge longer than many stainless steel alternatives, while the satin finish adds a sleek look. However, as with any carbon steel blade, it's important to take care of it to avoid corrosion, so make sure to clean and oil the blade regularly.

The handle is made from durable Beechwood, a wood known for its hardness and resilience, providing a warm and natural feel in hand. Beechwood is not only attractive, with its smooth finish and light color, but it also offers a good grip, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. At just 2.68 inches closed and weighing a mere 0.32 ounces, the Opinel No.04 is incredibly lightweight and easy to carry, whether in your pocket or attached to your keychain.

This knife doesn’t have a locking mechanism, but the solid construction and precision fit of the blade into the handle ensures reliable performance. It’s opened manually with a simple nail nick, providing a nostalgic experience for those who appreciate traditional folding knives. While it’s non-locking, the blade is designed to stay firmly in place during typical use, making it ideal for light cutting tasks such as whittling, opening packages, or preparing food.

The Opinel No.04 is a practical and minimalist tool that serves well in a variety of situations, from everyday use to outdoor activities. Its small size, lightweight construction, and durable materials make it a versatile addition to any knife collection or EDC setup. Order it today from SMKW.com!
