Opinel Inox folding knife - Colorama, No. 7, purple

The knife Opinel Inox Colorama is a convenient companion for your preferred outdoor activities. The handle, made of French hornbeam, is varnished to resist moisture and dirt, and thanks to the leather cord, you can hang it anywhere and make it easier to carry.

The classic Opinel blade has taken the shape of a Yatagan. It offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear), which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before needing to be resharpened.

The stainless steel with a hardness of 55-57 HRC, used in the blades is a grade optimized to ensure both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The advantage of stainless steel is that it does not require special maintenance under normal conditions of use. However, it can reach its limits if placed in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent, etc.).

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from No. 6 onwards. 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).
