Description

The stainless bladed Opinel locking knives are an ideally sized pocket knife, perfect for all purposes - a true all-rounder! Opinel name this steel "INOX", which is simply French for "inoxydable" or, stainless.

The blade lock's using the Virobloc safety ring, which in addition to locking the blade in the open position for safety of use, now enables locking of the blade in the closed position for safety during carrying.

Opinel numbers and blade lengths:

  • Opinel No.6 - 7.0cm
  • Opinel No.7 - 8.0cm
  • Opinel No.8 - 8.5cm
  • Opinel No.9 - 9.0cm
  • Opinel No.10 - 10cm
  • Opinel No.12 - 12cm

The handles are made from durable French orange beech wood, and the Opinel blades, with their curved points and round profiles, are effective, precise and elegant.

    Inox classic as a replacement.

    Posted by John on 22nd Jan 2021

    Just received this in the post, as replacement for an earlier purchase, which i had to return & i must say this is very nice, fit and finish all good sharp out of the packaging. But !! the best thing was the customer service it was exceptional . my original purchase i was able to return no problem rather than a refund I took this . H/H team were great . Overall very pleased with both the knife & the customer service.

    Simple and reliable

    Like all Opinel knives they are simple, reliable and economical. They take an edge well and are easy to sharpen.

    OPINEL No.8 STAINLESS STEEL

    Posted by JOHN HOBSON on 23rd Nov 2020

    I had read previous reviews for this knife and was curious, so for the sake of around ten quid I chose the No. 8 Inox. I was pleasantly suprised, although of basic design it is qute a neat little knife and very practical, the blade seems good quality although required honing and the beech wood handle comes lightly varnished which I sanded off and added a stain of my own choice prior to customising for installing a ferro rod. The addition of the safety collar is a bonus although the blade on my knife seems quite a snug fit, (time will tell). All in all well worth the money paid and a great addition to my collection of pocket knives.

    Not quite right

    Posted by Hullblazer on 18th Jun 2020

    I have owned (and still have a couple of) Opinel before and find them great beaters. I have just bought a No.8 and am chuffed I've found the right size for me. It came BAF though, quickly fixed on my Lansky system, and although this is not a deal-breaker, is VERY unusual for this brand.

    Which one ?

    Posted by Mike on 4th Jun 2020

    The Opinel knives need no introduction? They are classics with around fifteen million made as they claim each year ! I have left a review on the carbone model , but have of late become more into the inox or stainless versions! Reason , well they don't rust they don't get a patina either , something knife nuts ,enthusiasts seem to rave on about ! Some say the carbone ones are much better cutters ? Well I've got about forty years experience with these opinel s and others and I can say that these models are of similar performance! The main reason I prefer the inox models is for what I use them for most and that's food prep ? The carbone ones smell when you cut say apples ! They also rust very quickly if damp and seem to get stiffer to open in the winter months ? The inox models come in some really lovely woods too ,the oak is very nice as is the olive ! The main issue I've always had is which one to choose? My first was a carbone no6 ,but I have had 7, 8 ,9 , 12 infact one usually leads to another ? I like them all but the ones no 2 through to no 5 don't lock and these are far to sharp to have non locking blades ? As nothing holds the blade open but friction! I have heard it said that these opinel float , but that's nothing more than a myth ! Drop yours overboard and you will be online to HH for another? On that note HH were again super fast to deliver and a good price for these opinel and there's plenty of choice ! Five stars alround .....

    That's not a knife ? This is a knife !

    Posted by Lowey on 15th Apr 2020

    Opinel no12 is a bit big for edc ? But around the house this thing is just awesome! I have owned the 12 in carbone many years ago and to be honest considered it a novelty item? Well this is the inox stainless version and its great ! If like me you like the brand you have just got to get it ? This is like a folding bread knife ! It slices ,my word does it slice ! So sharp you can almost shave with it after a mild strop ! Like every Opinel I have ever had, this never fails to impress me on how such a basic century old design works so well even today ? Knives don't get any better than this for their intended purpose ! Value for money is what this knife has always been about regardless of model chosen ! With little care this 'one for the masses 'will give years and years of pleasure totally recommend HH was a pleasure to deal with again as always!

    Opinel INOX (Stainless Steel) - No.12

    Posted by Gerry on 1st Apr 2017

    I now have three Opinel knives two carbon and one stainless; all three have arrived in superb condition and very fast “ the last one over night. I have given each one the hot oil treatment (see on utube) and made the nail slot easier to get at by reshaping the handle. I can honestly say I am delighted with the knives and the service given by Heinnie Haynes.
