Opinel 10-piece pocket knife set, carbon steel

This Opinel set contains ten Opinel knives from the Tradition collection. Produced as a unique set of Opinel knives for the real collector! You receive the set in a varnished wooden box. In it, you will find the No. 2 to no. 10 and the No. 12 neatly and stylishly presented.

• Virobloc locking

The knives from No. 6 have a Virobloc lock, also called a ring lock. With a Virobloc, the hinges of the blade are solidly blocked by the ring. This type of locking system can be operated with two hands, which means that you will be less likely to end up too close to the edge. The ring is often used to lock the knife when closed. And by using oil you also make sure that the ring moves easily.

• Type of steel

The blade is made of carbon steel. The advantage is that the knife can easily be sharpened. Make sure you dry the knife after contact with water or juices. This way you prevent corrosion and you continue to benefit from this beautiful knife!

• Blade material

The handle is made from beech wood, a very strong type of wood which you see on many Opinel handles. Please note: long-term exposure to the sun can discolour the wood. As such you should always store the knife in a dark place after use.

• Accessories and maintenance

To benefit from this Opinel-pocket knife longer maintenance is essential. A drop of Ballistol oil prevents the wood from drying out and it ensures that it will not lose its colour. Do not forget to oil the hinges as well. This keeps the ring running smoothly. With Opinel's sharpening stones, you can make the blade razor-sharp again. Moreover, always keep it in a suitable sheath to prevent damage to the metal. In short: check out our combideals and complete your purchase!
