Its practical size and robust design make it ideal for a variety of everyday tasks. Highly appreciated for its versatility, it lends itself equally well to sewing, model-making or other everyday activities as a letter opener.

High-quality design

Made from XC90 high-carbon steel, the 6cm blade of Opinel's n°5 offers exceptional sharpness, easy sharpening and remarkable resistance. Its design guarantees a constant grind, ensuring a razor-sharp edge and long-lasting effectiveness.

Although carbon steel offers exceptional sharpness, it is important to note its susceptibility to corrosion in the presence of moisture. To keep your Opinel n°5 knife in perfect condition, it's advisable to follow certain precautions: avoid leaving it in damp environments. After use, carefully wipe the blade with an oil-impregnated cloth, and oil the blade and hinge mechanism regularly. These simple gestures will ensure the longevity and optimum performance of your knife.

The handle, meanwhile, is made of beech wood, a characteristic of Opinel knives. It offers a comfortable grip and a natural aesthetic to the knife. Its texture and meticulous finish make it both practical and elegant. And the varnish that covers it enhances its beauty while protecting it from scratches.

Although this model does not feature the Virobloc double safety ring, it does offer the possibility of adding a personal touch thanks to the engraving option, making each knife unique.
