Opinel - N° 4 Inox - Compact Stainless Steel Pocket Knife
The Opinel N°4 Inox knife is a compact and versatile pocket tool, ideal for small daily tasks such as opening packages, model making, or as a handy letter opener. Its 5 cm martensitic stainless steel blade provides excellent cutting quality and corrosion resistance, maintaining sharpness even after prolonged use. The beechwood handle, sourced from PEFC-certified French forests, is treated with protective varnish to resist moisture and dirt, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic grip. It is important to note that the Opinel N°4 does not feature the Virobloc locking system; therefore, the blade stays open through friction, requiring careful handling during use. This knife embodies the traditional values of the Opinel brand: simplicity, durability, and efficiency.
