The 6 Animalia knives bring you the majestic gestures of animals. With the boxwood Nature collection, Opinel celebrates water, sky, animal and vegetable through original boxwood engravings.

We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.
Boxwood comes from French and European forests. It is a dense, hard wood, with a very fine grain. Its color varies from Bright yellow to yellow.
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
