Opinel N°09 Carbon is a classic French folding knife in a versatile working size, equipped with a 9 cm XC90 carbon-steel blade, comfortable beech handle and the characteristic Virobloc® safety system.
This version is aimed at users who appreciate the excellent cutting performance and straightforward resharpening associated with carbon steel and are prepared to provide the blade with the necessary care after use.
N°09 Carbon combines the practical 9 cm size with the historic type of steel closely associated with classic Opinel folding knives. The model is compact enough for frequent use while still providing useful working length for DIY, gardening and general practical tasks.
A practical length for everyday jobs, working with materials, gardening and general-purpose use.
Hard high-carbon steel valued for excellent cutting performance, good wear resistance and straightforward resharpening.
Traditional PEFC-certified beech handle shaped to provide a comfortable and natural grip.
The safety ring allows the blade to be locked both during use and in the folded position.
Opinel describes carbon steel as the traditional steel of the brand, valued for excellent cutting qualities and easy resharpening.
XC90 is a hard carbon steel associated with strong cutting performance, good resistance to wear and straightforward resharpening.
This makes the N°09 Carbon particularly suitable for users who actively maintain their knife and place cutting performance high among their priorities.
XC90 carbon steel is sensitive to moisture. Correct maintenance is important: the blade should be cleaned and dried after use and lightly oiled periodically to help protect it against corrosion.
After contact with water or moist products, clean and dry the blade rather than leaving it wet.
Periodic light oiling helps protect the carbon-steel blade and the pivot area.
Avoid prolonged storage in damp environments or with an uncleaned, wet blade.
Suitable for users who appreciate traditional carbon-steel behaviour, straightforward sharpening and do not mind regular maintenance.
Better suited to users who prioritise high corrosion resistance and minimal day-to-day blade maintenance.
Beech is the wood most commonly used for classic Opinel handles. The manufacturer uses PEFC-certified wood from sustainably managed forest sources. The material is hard, durable and protected with a varnished finish.
The size provides a useful balance between compact dimensions and a secure full grip.
The wood comes from sustainably managed sources and remains a traditional material for Opinel.
The finish helps protect the handle against moisture and dirt during normal use.
Virobloc® was created by Marcel Opinel in 1955 and is used on classic Opinel folding knives from N°06 upward. The system consists of a fixed section and a rotating stainless-steel safety ring.
The rotating ring secures the blade in the open position while the knife is being used.
The same mechanism can also secure the blade in the closed position during transport and storage.
N°09 Carbon is a practical general-purpose folding knife for users who value the behaviour of carbon steel. The 9 cm format works well for DIY, gardening and general everyday tasks where a simple and effective cutting tool is useful.
A useful size for everyday repairs, cutting materials and general work.
Suitable for general jobs around the garden, yard and during outdoor activities.
The N°09 size provides a balanced combination of portability and useful working blade length.
