Slim Line 08 Padouk

The small slim knife, chic and feminine

This new knife is based on the brand's traditional elements such as the round handle and the rotating lock but includes a slimmer elegant profile. Flexible and thin, it is carefully sharpened on a diamond wheel to get a razor-sharp cut.

Safety ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
