Beech wood handle of Opinel tools.
The handle of each tool is made of varnished beech wood, a wood characterized by high strength and hardness. The grip has a classic oval profile, widening towards the end. It is very comfortable and handy. At the end of the handle there is also a grommet for attaching a lanyard or rope.
Patented Virobloc locking mechanism in Opinel knives
The knife uses the Virobloc safety ring designed by Marcel Opinel in 1955. Virobloc has a steel construction and consists of two parts: a fixed (inner) part and a movable part, responsible for locking the blade in the open and folded positions. The mechanism is easy to use, durable and reliable, which is why Opinel has been using it almost unchanged for more than 65 years.
