Opinel Inox N 9

The N ° 09 is one of the first knives designed by Joseph Opinel, made in 1896. Like the rest of the Tradition range, the excellent design has survived over time. The reliable 9 cm stainless steel blade ensures high quality cuts and high corrosion resistance. The beech used for the handle guarantees resistance and comfort. Useful for any type of use, it will be the faithful companion of all DIY enthusiasts.

Blade length 9cm

BLADE: Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is known for its cut and easy maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its excellent hardness is called martensitic. It has a percentage of carbon at least equal to 0.40% which allows to obtain a very satisfactory cut without being sensitive to corrosion. Hardness of the blade 57-58 HRC

The Yatagan is Opinel's traditional blade. Its shape is inspired by a Turkish sword, with a raised tip. The blade is milled with an exclusive curved profile, which guarantees its robustness and allows effective re-sharpening.

Beech is the most used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. Coming from French crops, it is hard, resistant and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous dark dashes. The handle is painted to be effectively protected from dirt and moisture.

Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is present on all folding knives starting from N ° 06. Carved out of stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety of use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (transport safety).
