Pocket knife N°09 CIME 9 cm, French wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

When mountain inspiration meets French craftsmanship, the result is not just another tourist souvenir with an ibex. CIME feels more like a design object that just happened to also become a pocket knife.

Main advantages:

• Opinel N°09 Cime CIME blends inspiration from mountain peaks and wool crests into an elegant pocket knife with a distinctive wooden handle.
• The 9 cm blade offers a compact format suitable for everyday pocket use and comfortable carrying.
• The handle is crafted by assembling three French woods in contrasting shades, which together create a striking and original design.
• The sycamore maple, heat-treated ash, and black walnut used give each piece a characteristic combination of colours and grain.
• The high-gloss finish of the handle highlights the contrast of the individual woods and underscores the meticulous craftsmanship of this luxury pocket model.
• Martensitic stainless steel of European origin reaches a hardness of 55-57 HRC and offers high corrosion resistance.
• The high mechanical resistance of the steel supports reliable use and helps the blade handle regular contact with harder materials.
• Wear resistance helps the edge retain a quality cut longer before the blade needs to be sharpened again.
• Under normal conditions, stainless steel does not require special maintenance, which simplifies caring for the knife during regular use.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked firmly in the open position, increasing confidence during use.
• The same Virobloc system can also lock the blade when closed, making the knife safer to carry.
• The 11.82 cm handle provides ample space for a comfortable grip while maintaining the compact proportions of the knife.
• The contrasting grain of the handle resembles mountain peaks, ridges, and wool crests, from which the CIME model gets its character.
• The knife comes in an elegant box, making it also suitable as a prestigious gift for lovers of knives and wood.
• The assembled wooden handle is more sensitive to moisture and impacts, so the knife should not be washed in a dishwasher or left in water.
• The model is made in France and is created in the Opinel wood workshop with an emphasis on precise handle processing.
