Opinel No. 6 Colorama Classic Folding Knife
Versatile in its use, classic in its design and construction, the Opinel folding knife has been carried — and appreciated — by generations. In the pocket-friendly No. 6 size, this classic folding knife is a take-everywhere, tackle-anything tool. The classic carbon steel blade holds its edge and is easy to sharpen, and the varnished beech wood handle is both beautiful and lightweight. Tuck it into your basket for a picnic. Keep it in your desk for workday lunches or opening packages. Carve into charcuterie, cheese, or a crisp apple, or whittle a stick for campfire s’mores. Little has changed since Joseph Opinel crafted his first pocket knife in 1890, for good reason; Opinel knives stand the test of time.
Blade length 7 cm
We use 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% gives excellent cutting edge.Blade hardness 57-58 HRC

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.
Coming from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
