My First Opinel | Pocketknife for Kids

The No.07 My First Opinel Folding Knife features a round-ended blade for added safety. The knife also utilizes Opinel's patented Virobloc locking ring which keeps the blade locked shut during transport and securely opened while in use. It is the perfect scout knife for children looking to learn useful knife skills like carving, whittling, preparing food and more!

Note that this is a sharp knife, as a result young users should be supervised at all time. Teach kids to use knives responsibly instead of being afraid of them. 

Care Instructions: Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Dry the blade before closing.

Meet the Makers

The story of Opinel is one of the fabulous destiny of a little Savoyard folding knife invented by Joseph Opinel in 1890 which quickly became an item of daily life and elevated itself as a world design icon. A family story at the heart of the French Alps, for 133 years. Led by his passion for machinery and the manufacturing process, Joseph Opinel decided to invent an object which he could manufacture using modern technology. Against his father's wishes, he spent most of his free time refining the shape and manufacturing of a small pocket knife: the Opinel No.08 was born!

The Opinel knife is a popular everyday item whose aesthetics remained unchanged for over a century, with a design that is one of the most successful of all time. 

Heritage. Quality. Affordability.  Three ideals that set Opinel apart and make their products beloved by people all over the world including farmers, gardeners, chefs, and outdoor adventurers. The most common wood used by Opinel is beechwood and 90% of the beechwood used is harvested from sustainably harvested forests.
