Opinel No. 18 Stainless Folding Saw – OP001198
Meet your new outdoor companion: the Opinel No. 18 Stainless Folding Saw OP001198. Crafted with over a century of French expertise, this pocket-sized powerhouse transforms tough branches into manageable firewood or garden trimmings in seconds. Whether you’re tending your backyard oasis, setting up camp, or embarking on a weekend hike, the No. 18 makes every cut feel effortless—and even enjoyable.
Rooted in Tradition, Built for Today
Since 1890, Opinel has been synonymous with simple, dependable tools. Born in the French Alps from inventor Joseph Opinel’s vision, the brand grew from humble pocket knives for farmers and shepherds into a global icon of quality and affordability. The No. 18 Stainless Folding Saw carries forward that legacy with modern Sandvik stainless steel, precision-engineered in Sweden for razor-sharp performance and unbeatable corrosion resistance.
Effortless Cutting, Every Time
At the heart of the No. 18 is its 18 cm blade, featuring two rows of teeth turned toward the handle for powerful pull-and-release strokes. You’ll slice through branches up to 10 cm in diameter with minimal effort—no sawing fatigue, no wasted motion. When wear eventually dulls the blade, the quick-release pin lets you swap in a fresh one in seconds, so you’re never stuck mid-project.
Safety and Convenience Rolled into One
Opinel’s signature safety hook locks the blade securely open during use and snaps it closed for transport—no fussy levers or complicated mechanisms. The compact, foldable design tucks neatly into a belt pouch or backpack pocket, while the sturdy beechwood handle offers natural grip and classic good looks. Each handle is hand-selected in France, its pale wood streaked with unique dark flecks that tell the story of sustainable, responsible sourcing.
More Than Just a Saw
This versatile tool shines in the garden, clearing overgrown shrubs or shaping fresh branches for floral arrangements. Take it on your next camping trip to gather kindling, on a trail to trim back encroaching bushes, or keep it in your garage for quick DIY repairs. Lightweight yet robust, the Opinel No. 18 Stainless Folding Saw delivers precision and reliability wherever you roam.
