No.10 Classic Opinel knife

My father was made of wood quite literally the great wise oak. I have his old Opinel No.10 carbon steel knife, the one that lived in his joinery workshop and travelled with him through the woods each autumn as he foraged for mushrooms. The blade has been sharpened so many times over the last 45 years, that it's shape has changed. When I hold it now, it's almost like I'm holding his hand. 

When I'm cooking outside I always have an Opinel in my pocket. It's the perfect knife, sharp, light weight, safe, easy to clean and incredibly practical. I really wouldn't be without it.

The Opinel No.10 is a world-renowned folding knife featuring the signature Virobloc® safety ring, which locks the blade open for secure use and closed for safe carrying. This carbon steel model delivers exceptional sharpness and long-lasting reliability, paired with a tinted varnished beech handle. Celebrated for it's versatility, balance and timeless French design, it remains a trusted companion for everyday tasks.
