Product Description

Opinel No. 9 - Carbon

THE No.09 CARBONSTEEL POCKET KNIFE

The No.09 Carbon Steel Folding knife is great for larger tasks. Fold it up and stow it in a toolbox, or in your backpack while camping. The large profile of the No.09 knife makes it great for bushcraft, large wood carving and longer cuts.

The blade has been designed and perfected over generations to maximize the cutting quality and ensure it’s easy to sharpen after years of hard work. Use it in the garden, at the dinner table, or even on your next adventure. Keep the knife in your pocket, purse or toolbox and we are certain you'll love it for years to come.

Opinel No. 9 - Carbon

THE RIGHT FEATURES AT THE RIGHT COST

The patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism keeps your knife safely closed in your pocket and locks the blade open during use. The simplicity of the knife’s design and it’s sustainable wooden handle makes the knife lightweight too!

Opinel No. 9 - Carbon

THE PERFECT SIZE FOR EVERYDAY CARRY

Both smart and simple, the Opinel folding knife is composed of 5 elements: the blade, the wooden handle, the fixed ferrule, the rivet and the rotating VIROBLOC locking ring which was added in 1955 to sizes No.06 and above.

The knife is equipped with a 3.51 inch blade, open length 8.18 inches.

Opinel No. 9 - Carbon

CARING FOR YOUR KNIFE

All Opinel wooden-handle knives are not designed to be washed in the dishwasher. Heat and moisture will cause any wood to swell which will make the knife hard to open at times. Opinel suggests carefully hand-washing and immediately drying the blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife is recommended (this prevents oxidation).

opinel history

MADE IN THE FRENCH ALPS FOR OVER 130 YEARS

Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in 1890, creating a tool that is as robust and functional as it is simple and beautiful. From his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic. Generations of artists, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable, imminently useful Opinel knife in their pockets.

Little has changed since 1890. Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family still makes their knives in the Savoie region of France. Each year, THEIR team of 150 employees in France manufactures over 5 million knives, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all to honor Joseph Opinel’s focus on quality and simplicity.

Great for everyday use
5 Stars
Great for everyday use
I already have a No. 8 Inox (Stainless Steel) Opinel, but wanted something a tad smaller and was curious about the Carbon Steel version. It has been an awesome collection that has become part of my EDC.With Carbon Steel, I was afraid of rust being a problem; but after some research, I learned that creating a patina would help protect it. Usually a patina develops naturally if the knife is used frequently, but I wasn't I would be able to develop one because I usually don't expose my knives to acidic product frequently. Thus I learned about forced patina via acid everyday products and certain fruits and vegetables. I wanted a nice dark patina to cover ans protect my blade. Doing some research showed me it wasn't hard at all.As seen in the picture, my blade was patina with instant coffee. I didn't want anything to happen to the wooden handle, so I disassembled it as soon as I got it and exposed just the blade to my big pot of cheap coffee. It was really easy and didn't take long. About an hour after having just received the knife, I had a nice dark blade and, in my opinion, looked pretty nice. Since then, I have been using it for all kinds of ventures and the blade is still sharp. Perfect for cutting fruits, veggies, and meats on the fly. Later down the line, I plan to dip my toes further in customizing my little Opinel. I love it.

Reviewed in Germany on January 10, 2024
Heute bekommen, ich bin sehr zufrieden.
Das Opinel,ist scharf gewesen, allerdings erst so richtig scharf nach einer Behandlung auf meinem Lederriemen.
Das Messer braucht nur in die Nähe meiner Haare kommen, die springen schon vorher weg.

Das erste was ich gemacht hatte, war die Klinge für ca. 1 Stunde in Essig zu baden.
Dadurch entsteht eine schöne abating, die nicht nur gut aussieht, sondern das Messer auch vor Rost schützt.
Danach noch ein paar Tropfen Öl auf die Klinge und im Griff.

So müssen Messer sein, sehr scharf und macht fun :)
