Falling on the smaller end of our folding knife size range, the No.04 is a convenient everyday carry for many. Featuring the signature Opinel blade with a varnished beech wood handle, slip this into your pocket or bag to ensure you're never without your Opinel! Due to the size, this knife does not feature the Virobloc® safety ring.

Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Do not wash the carbon blade by running it under water, simply wipe it down after use. If wet, immediately dry the carbon blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the carbon blade with a food safe oil before closing the knife is recommended (this prevents oxidation). Over time, carbon steel can develop a patina and may possibly show some corrosion, depending on use. 

For over 130 years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. Much like Joseph Opinel did from his workshop in 1890, today we still manufacture Opinel products from our factory in Chambery, France.
