Folding knife Opinel Inox - Colorama, No. 8, red

Knife Opinel Inox Colorama is a handy companion for your favourite outdoor activities. The handle, made of French beech, is lacquered so that it withstands moisture and dirt, and thanks to the leather strap it can be hung anywhere, making it easier to carry.

The classic Opinel blade has taken the form of Yatagan. It offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion resistance, allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before needing to be re-sharpened.

The stainless steel with a hardness of 55-57 HRC, used in the blades is a grade optimised to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The advantage of stainless steel is that it requires no special maintenance under normal conditions of use. However, it can reach its limits if placed in prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acid, salt water, cleaning products, etc.).

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from No. 6 upwards. Cut from stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections - one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety during use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (safety during transport).

• Blade length: 8.5 cm;
