As 2025 draws to a close, we've decided to relive some of Opinel's most memorable moments of the year.
The year's new designs
néo6
THE now product of 2025! A new, easy-to-use pocket knife with a unique design has joined the Opinel range. 100% made in France, néo6 incorporates the Opiflex mechanism, which opens and closes the blade without manipulation or locking. It's small, light, features a rounded blade and a leather strap for carrying it everywhere, and is available with 4 different handles!
Le Petit Gourmet
The children's collection grew with the arrival of the Le Petit Gourmet cutlery set. 3 Made In France items of cutlery that can be stacked, are easy to store, and perfect for teaching kids how to handle utensils. Perfect for little hands, they help children to grow up!
Le Petit Gourmet combines Opinel's DNA with a resolutely modern approach. Designed by Franck Fontana, it is rooted in tradition and yet is also innovative.
Limited editions
Cosmos Edition:
Look up and let yourself be carried away by infinity and mystery...
To mark the occasion of this 5th limited edition in collaboration with artists, we have created Cosmos, an edition that evokes this universal fascination and the unspoken connection between us and the stars.
To finish off our iconic No.08 pocket knife, three artists xplored the skies: Dalkhafine, Benjamin JeanJean and Asile.
Atelier Tuffery:
This year, Atelier TUFFERY and Opinel have created the limited edition Coffret Partage.
With its two areas of expertise, this set includes an Opinel Barbecue Set containing a NO. 12 B knife, a spatula + that attaches to the handle of the knife and XL tongs, and an Atelier TUFFERY apron made from Cévennes denim and leather.
Shiori No.10:
A blend of two cultures and two skills.
This limited edition of 2,100 pieces is the result of an exceptional collaboration with a Japanese master blacksmith. The Shiori No.10 features a multi-layer VG7 steel blade made in Japan by master blacksmith Nigara Hamono, a handle in buffed flamed maple, and a safety ring with a black PVD finish. A tribute to Japanese expertise.
On the CSR side
Carbon footprint: A key step in Opinel's commitment to a sustainable future
Respect for the environment has always been part of the company's DNA.
As part of its CSR approach, Opinel wanted to take a decisive step forward by carrying out its carbon assessment with AIR coop (Annecy), a cooperative society grouping entrepreneurs for change.
All activities were examined with a fine-tooth comb to assess the impact of each stage. An "action plan" workshop was then organised to define the priority actions to be implemented.

France Eclat, winner of the CSR prize
Opinel is one of three winners of the CSR prize organised by Francéclat on 24 April in Paris! 🏆
Francéclat is the professional economic development committee that serves the watchmaking, jewellery, goldsmithery and tableware sectors.
The panel assessed the maturity, effectiveness and innovation of the finalists' sustainable development initiatives. 🌏
This is a fine acknowledgement of our contribution to a more virtuous operating model, and an invitation to continue our efforts towards more responsible production.
Francis Hallé
We are delighted to be a sponsor of the Francis Hallé Association for the primary forest, who we were lucky enough to host this year.
Its aim is to restore a primary (old growth) forest in Western Europe. Wood is an essential material in the manufacture of our knives, so we were delighted to chat to them about a range of issues relating to the environment and forests.
