Opinel Keychain N°04 with Brun Noir handle and stainless steel blade. Falling on the smaller end of Opinel’s folding knife size range, the No.04 is a convenient everyday carry for many. Colored handle options come with a keychain, making sure you're never without your Opinel! Due to the size, this knife does not feature the Virobloc® safety ring. Martensitic Stainless Steel: The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion-resistance, and high mechanical performance | The blade offers excellent sharpness, and high resistance to abrasion (wear), which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent, etc) Handle: Opinel's selection of wood is very precise, and meets strict standards for social responsibility and the environment. They select beech, hornbeam, walnut, and ash wood, among other varieties, from ecologically-managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and Jura mountains | PEFC-certified hornbeam comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. This white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt Stainless Steel Folding Knives: 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 Stainless Steel (INOX) Blade: Opinel uses Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive, thanks to the addition of chrome, and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge, and it is easily sharpened The Crowned Hand: The Crowned Hand Made in Savoie, France: For over 130, years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. Much like Joseph Opinel did from his workshop in 1890, today Opinel still manufactures their products from their factory in Chambery, France Type Pocket Knife Blade Edge Smooth Tip Sharp Blade Attachment Folding Locking Mechanism Virobloc Safety Ring Attachment Points Keyring x1 | At Grip Base Blade Construction Material | Martensitic Sandvik 12C27 Modified Stainless Steel | European Origin Hardness | 55 - 57 HRC Grip Construction Hornbeam Wood | Varnished Length Blade 2" 5 cm Grip 2.6" 6.6 cm Overall 4.68" 11.9 cm Weight 0.32 oz 9g
