The No.02 is Opinel's smallest folding knife (since the discontinuation of the No.01 in the 1930's). Small in stature, but highly efficient, the keychain version of the No.02 follows you everywhere. This tiny knife is excellent for small tasks like opening letters or cutting papers. This is a very small knife (under 2 inches when folded!); please review the size before purchasing. Due to the size, this knife does not feature the Virobloc® safety ring.

Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Dry the blade before closing.

Stainless Steel (INOX) Blade

Uses Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge and is easily sharpened.

The Handle

Opinel's selection of wood is very precise and meets strict standards for social responsibility and the environment. They select beech, hornbeam, walnut, and ash wood, among other varieties, from ecologically managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and Jura mountains.

Virobloc® Safety Ring

Patented locking mechanism developed in 1955 keeps the blade securely opened, or closed. To lock your knife, simply twist the locking ring clockwise into the closed position during transport, turn the locking ring counterclockwise to prevent the blade from folding during use.

The Crowned Hand

In 1565, King of France Charles IX commanded every knife maker to stamp an emblem on their products to guarantee their origin and quality. In 1909, in order to honor this tradition, Joseph Opinel chose the Crowned Hand as his emblem, a very symbolic choice, as it represents the blessing hand of Saint Jean-Baptiste which is featured on the coat of arms of the city of Sant-Jean-de-Maurienne. Opinel added the crown as a reminder that Savoie was originally a duchy. All Opinel blades since have been stamped with the Crowned Hand.
