The No. 9 is the largest of the classic Opinel line and reads as a project knife rather than an everyday carry. The XC90 carbon blade holds a keen edge and re-sharpens easily. The varnished beech handle is substantial in the grip. Virobloc locking collar secures the blade open and closed. For over 130 years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. When Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in 1890, the French blacksmith created a tool that was robust, simple, and beautiful. Crafted in the Alps from local materials, that knife would go on to become a design icon, passed down by generations of artists, explorers, farmers, and adventurers. Each Opinel product is still manufactured in their Chambery, France factory. Dimensions: Blade 3.75", overall 9" Materials: Stainless steel blade, beech handle, Virobloc locking collar Made in France
