Opening the knife is easy with the manual nail nick, a tried-and-true mechanism that has stood the test of time. The blade folds smoothly into the handle and, while this model is non-locking, its design ensures that the blade stays secure when in use. This simplicity is part of what makes the Opinel No.05 such a popular choice for those who value functionality without unnecessary complexity.
The handle is made from Beechwood, a natural material that offers both comfort and durability. It’s shaped to fit comfortably in hand and provides a firm grip even during extended use. The Beechwood’s warm, natural tones give the knife a timeless look, making it as much a statement of craftsmanship as a practical tool. Lightweight and comfortable, the handle is also treated to resist moisture, ensuring long-term durability even in challenging outdoor conditions.
At just 3.14” closed and weighing only .56oz, this knife is incredibly portable. You’ll hardly notice it in your pocket, yet it’s always ready when you need it.
