Opinel No9 Stainless Steel Op001254
Since 1890, Opinel has stood at the crossroads of tradition and adventure. Born in the heart of the French Alps, the Opinel No. 9 Stainless Steel blends over a century of craftsmanship with modern durability, making it your go-anywhere, do-anything companion. Whether you’re carving wood at your campsite, preparing game in the field, or tackling everyday chores, the No. 9 delivers reliable performance and timeless style.
At its core lies a 3.51″ Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, ease of sharpening, and outstanding corrosion resistance. You’ll love how cleanly it slices through rope, food, and wood, then glides back to a razor-sharp edge with just a few swipes of your strop or stone. The blade’s gentle curve and super-sharp point make precision cuts effortless, turning complex tasks into moments of pure satisfaction.
The handle is a masterpiece of modern engineering. Crafted from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide, it stands up to shocks, moisture, and extreme temperatures—from bitter –40 °C mountain mornings to scorching +80 °C desert afternoons. Unlike traditional wood handles, this rugged composite won’t crack, warp, or swell, yet it still feels comfortable and secure in hand. And cleverly integrated into the end is a pealess survival whistle that emits a 110 dB signal in any weather—perfect for emergencies or signaling your group on the trail.
Compact enough to slip into your pack or belt, the No. 9 unfolds instantly with Opinel’s signature Virobloc safety ring. Just twist, flip, and lock—no fiddly springs or confusing mechanisms. When the job is done, fold it closed and twist the ring again to lock the blade safely away. You’ll appreciate the simplicity as much as the performance.
From farmers and shepherds to hikers and hunters, generations have turned to Opinel for an honest, no-nonsense tool they can trust. Today, the No. 9 Stainless Steel continues that legacy, combining French heritage with cutting-edge materials. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, professional outdoorsman, or someone who simply demands a reliable pocketknife, this is the one you’ll reach for again and again.
