Opinel Safety Knife 18

I bought this to modify the blade shape. The blunt nose provides enough space to grind it down to sheepsfoot, which I personally prefer. I've also removed the lock to make it UK friendly. The rest is standard Opinel goodness - sharp Inox blade and comfortable handle.

11years old loves this knife, very good quality and prompt delivery

It's an Opinel, with a round tip. Exactly what you'd expect it to be, perfectly fine. It's ground thin, so it's a brilliant slicer. Inox steel, so no rusting. Handle is very comfortable. Lock is great, locks the blade in both an open and closed position if that's your thing. Ideal for kids, as a locking knife is inherently much safer for new knife users. It's chunkier than a lot of knives, so it makes for a larger in-pocket carry than I'd normally go for, but it's very comfortable and good looking. The wood looks great, and really adds to the ultra non-tactical design. I took the locking collar off, which makes it borderline UK legal, sitting right on the limit for blade length. However, I'm pretty sure most cops would see this as considerably less dangerous than something with a pointy tip, so to me it seems ideal for picnics and the like. Great as a cheap, all around blade.

NICE LITTLE KNIFE - SHARP AND WELL FINISHED. SUPER SERVICE AS PER USUAL - £2 FOR OVER NIGHT DELIVERY CAN'T BE BETTERED - IN MY OPINION

I bought this knife as I can no longer get a sharp edge on my old trusty penknife, and I sliced my fingers every time I opened the first replacement knife I bought! The Opinel No.07 is very safe and I haven't cut myself once with it. It's like a very sharp butter knife. I have actually used it to make a sandwich. There is no point in trying to use it as a letter opener, as there is literally no point on the blade. I would happily give this as a present to a young person as their first pocket knife.

Bought this for slicing fruit and spreading stuff on oatcakes at work. Performs both tasks well. Comfortable to hold, easy to clean. I like it.

Next day delivery. Bought two for my grandsons for in the woods and down the allotment. Same build quality as my 30year old opinel that is still going strong. Nicely rounded end for safety and safely locks open and closed .

Not just for kids. Punctured a hole in my lightweight sleeping air mat with point of Mora craft knife also hole in my Sea to Summit kitchen sink. When I got back from trip, ordered this Opinel, very sharp but no dagger point. Not a bushcraft knife but good camp knife. I like it. P.S. Smoothed point of Mora knife.

Lovely little knife. 'Bought this as a general pocket knife and went for the round point for spreading stuff on my sandwiches :-). Was really impressed by everything about this knife. Blade opened smooth as you like. Fit and finish really nice, no play or wobble anywhere, cuts like a demon...I think I have just found my perfect everyday single blade pocketknife! Opinel sell this as a youngsters first knife...if I had be given this as a young lad I would have been over the moon :-).
