Discover the perfect blend of French tradition and modern safety with the Opinel No. 7 Round-Ended Stainless Steel Safety Blue Knife. Born in the heart of the French Alps in 1890, Opinel’s pocket knives have long been celebrated for their unbeatable combination of simplicity, durability, and affordability. Today, the No. 7 safety knife continues this legacy, offering a reliable companion for everyday kitchen tasks, outdoor adventures, and creative projects.
Handcrafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, the slender 10 cm blade delivers razor-sharp performance without demanding constant maintenance. Thanks to its hard-wearing chromium boost, this steel resists corrosion and keeps its edge—so you can slice, spread, and score with confidence. The blade’s unique round tip adds an extra layer of safety, making it ideal for spreading soft cheeses, jams, sauces, or even frosting. No more accidental pokes—just smooth, controlled cuts every time.
Holding the No. 7 is a joy. Its handle is crafted from responsibly harvested French whitewood, its fine grain painted in vibrant safety blue. A protective varnish seal guards against moisture and grime, while the handle’s ergonomic curve nestles comfortably in your palm. Whether you’re prepping a picnic, carving veggies, or crafting DIY projects, you’ll appreciate the secure grip and splash of color that brighten your routine.
Safety and precision come together in Opinel’s signature Virobloc® ring. Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, this stainless-steel locking collar twists into place to secure the blade open during use or locked shut for safe transport. Quick to operate with one hand, it guarantees peace of mind—at home, in the workshop, or on the trail. Plus, the knife’s lightweight profile tucks neatly into pockets or gear pouches without weighing you down.
