Opinel No. 10 Carbon Steel BUK VRN Knife

Opinel VRN No.10 BUK carbon steel knife

A practical and simple folding knife, designed for travel and camping. It stands out for its elegance, functionality, excellent edge retention, and the ergonomics of its handle.

The blade is made of carbon steel, a non-alloyed steel with a high carbon content that, after heat treatment, offers great hardness, good edge retention, wear resistance, and easy sharpening. Its corrosion resistance is low, so it should be dried after use and protected with oil if it is to be in a humid environment.

The traditional Opinel blade is a yatagan type, with a shape inspired by the Turkish saber and a raised point. The curved profile provides a robust blade and makes sharpening easier.

The handle is made of carefully crafted beech wood, sourced from French forests. It is a hard, durable wood that is pleasant to the touch and has been treated against the elements. It features a leather strap at the end for hanging.

The Virobloc system is a steel ring that allows the knife to be locked both open and closed for greater safety during transport and use.

Opinel knives have been manufactured in France since 1890, and their construction is based on traditional materials and a simple 3- or 4-piece structure.
