Pocket knife N°12 12 cm, natural, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

The N°12 is for those moments when a small pocket companion starts to feel more like moral support. The large Opinel makes it clear that this time you are going to get some real work done, rather than just symbolically poking at a problem.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°12 Inox folding knife is a robust utility model for agricultural work, hunting, outdoor activities and demanding everyday use.
• The 12 cm blade provides a large working surface for cutting tougher materials, preparing food and other practical tasks.
• Martensitic stainless steel of European origin with a hardness of 55-57 HRC offers high sharpness, mechanical resistance and very good protection against corrosion.
• The blade's high resistance to wear helps maintain a quality cut even with regular contact with harder materials before needing resharpening.
• The larger format of the N°12 model is well suited for agricultural work and hunting, where a longer and more robust blade is required.
• When dining, the knife can also serve as an original serving knife for mountain cheeses, ham and other larger foods.
• The classic Yatagan blade features an upswept tip and a convex profile, which supports its strength and allows for efficient sharpening of the edge.
• The varnished beech wood handle provides a comfortable and secure grip corresponding to the larger dimensions of this work-oriented model.
• The PEFC-certified beech wood comes from ecologically 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 natural grain is complemented by characteristic small darker lines.
• The varnished surface helps protect the wooden handle from moisture and dirt during regular use.
• The 16 cm handle provides plenty of room for a firm grip and controlled guidance of the long blade during more demanding work.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked in the open position during work and in the closed position during carrying and storage.
• Under normal conditions, the stainless steel blade does not require special maintenance, but it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to acids, salt water and detergents.
• The knife is made in France and represents one of the largest traditional Opinel models for users who need a significantly larger utility knife.
