Features:
NUMBER 05: The No.05 folding knife is a great size for small pockets, making it a convenient everyday carry
FRENCH HERITAGE: 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.
INOX BLADE: We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge and is easily sharpened.
SUSTAINABLE BEECH HANDLE: Our selection of wood is precise and meets strict standards for social responsibility and the environment. We select beech wood from ecologically managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and Jura mountains
THE CROWNED HAND: In 1565 King Charles IX commanded every knife maker to stamp an emblem on their products to guarantee their origin and quality. In 1909 in order to honor this tradition Joseph Opinel chose the Crowned Hand as his emblem

The No. 05 is the largest model that does not feature the Virobloc safety ring. This little knife is commonly used to perform small tasks such as opening letters or boxes. It's a great size knife to carry in small pockets, or in your car.
