Pocket knife N°05 CARBON 6 cm, natural, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

A lot of things usually lie around in a drawer, their purpose long forgotten. However, the Opinel N°05 CARBON can justify its place practically every time you need to open, adjust or precisely cut something.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°05 CARBON folding knife is a very compact helper for everyday small tasks, model making, crafting and other precise work.
• The 6 cm blade is easy to control during delicate cutting, opening packages or working with smaller materials.
• The XC90 carbon steel excels in high hardness, excellent cutting performance, good wear resistance and easy subsequent sharpening.
• Easy edge restoration is practical during regular use, as you can continuously maintain the knife in very good cutting condition.
• The carbon blade is more sensitive to corrosion, therefore requiring thorough drying after use and regular light treatment with oil.
• Upon contact with certain foods, carbon steel can oxidise more quickly, so it is advisable to rinse and dry the blade immediately.
• The handle made of varnished beech wood provides a comfortable grip and preserves the characteristic natural look of traditional Opinel folding knives.
• The PEFC-certified beech wood comes from sustainably managed forests in the Jura and Vercors regions and excels in hardness and durability.
• Light beech wood can transition from yellow to pinkish tones, and its grain is naturally complemented by small darker lines.
• The tinted varnish helps protect the surface of the wooden handle from moisture and dirt during regular daily use of the knife.
• The 8 cm handle keeps the entire knife very compact while providing sufficient control during delicate work.
• You will appreciate the small dimensions in model making, creative work or opening packages, where a large and heavy blade is not needed.
• The N°05 model also holds an interesting place in the brand's history, as Pablo Picasso used this format when carving his figurines.
• The knife easily fits into standard gear and, thanks to its compact dimensions, can be a practical helper for everyday small tasks.
• The knife is made in France and preserves the traditional Opinel concept with a beech handle, carbon blade and simple construction.
