55–57 HRC • martensitic stainless steel

Opinel uses European-origin steel developed for high corrosion resistance and good mechanical performance.

Good sharpness and wear resistance

The steel is designed to provide effective cutting performance and resistance to abrasive wear under normal use.

Compared with carbon steel, the Stainless Steel version is easier to maintain in day-to-day use and does not require the same level of continuous special care under ordinary conditions.

Stainless steel is not completely immune to corrosion. Prolonged exposure to acids, salt water or aggressive cleaning products should be avoided.
Yatagan Blade
The classic Opinel Yatagan blade

The Yatagan shape is one of the most recognisable features of the classic Opinel design. Inspired by the traditional Turkish yataghan, it combines a subtly raised tip with Opinel's characteristic convex blade profile.

The geometry is suitable for a broad range of everyday tasks and efficient cutting.

TIP

The characteristic blade geometry is designed for strength and effective subsequent sharpening.

Beech Handle
11.82 cm varnished beech handle

Beech is the wood most commonly used for classic Opinel models. It is hard, durable and easy to work, while its natural grain forms part of the traditional character of the knife.

Virobloc® Safety Ring
Secure during use and transport
1955 Virobloc® • created by Marcel Opinel

The system is used on classic Opinel folding knives from N°06 upward.

One system – two locking positions

Virobloc® consists of a fixed section and a rotating stainless-steel safety ring.

During use, the ring can secure the blade in the open position. During transport, it can also lock the blade in the closed position.

The simplicity of the mechanism is one of the reasons the Opinel design has remained recognisable and practical for decades.
Balanced Everyday Size
A balance between compactness and useful working length

N°09 is a strong choice for users looking for a versatile Opinel: more substantial than the compact models, yet easier to carry and handle every day than the larger N°10 and N°12.
