Opinel No. 6 Walnut Knife – OP002025
Since 1890, tucked into the foothills of the French Alps, Opinel has crafted knives that blend timeless simplicity with unrivaled performance. The No.6 Walnut model celebrates over a century of tradition with a design that’s as practical today as it was for the farmers and shepherds who first relied on it. Whether you’re slicing an apple on a picnic, carving wood around the campsite, or handling everyday tasks in the kitchen, this compact folding knife rises to every occasion with effortless precision.
At its heart sits a 7 cm blade made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, revered for its exceptional corrosion resistance and a carbon content that delivers a keener, longer-lasting edge. No special upkeep is needed—just a quick wipe after use and the blade is ready for tomorrow’s adventures. The handle, hewn from sustainably sourced French walnut, feels warm and reassuring in your hand. Each piece carries its own tapestry of golden-brown and gray-brown hues veined with dark streaks, ensuring your No.6 is a one-of-a-kind companion.
Safety and reliability have always been paramount at Opinel. That’s why the No.6 features the signature Virobloc® safety ring, invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. With a simple twist, you lock the blade securely open for confident cutting or locked closed for safe storage and travel. It’s a small innovation that transforms a classic knife into an everyday carry you can trust.
Lightweight yet robust, the No.6 Walnut slips into your pocket or clips onto your gear without weighing you down. Its low-profile design honors Opinel’s heritage of rugged simplicity while the refined walnut handle elevates it to a stylish essential. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a home cook, or someone who appreciates well-crafted tools, this folding knife delivers reliability, performance, and a dash of French flair.
