A classic folding knife from the French brand, which can be classified as a pocket and general-purpose camping knife. Its 120 mm blade, made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel with a hardness of 56 HRC, combines good edge retention with ease of sharpening and sufficient corrosion resistance. The OPINEL 12 VRI camping knife features the smoothly curved blade traditional for this manufacturer, making the model quite versatile.
This knife performs equally well in cutting food, small domestic tasks, cutting branches or ropes, and preparing fish and game on a hunt, as long as it doesn't involve brute force work. The handle, made from beech, has a distinctively teardrop shape with a thickened middle, allowing the knife to rest comfortably in the hand even during prolonged use. It is important to note that such a material as wood is sensitive to moisture and temperature fluctuations, so the knife should preferably not be left in the rain and should occasionally be treated with wax or oil. The classic and versatile design of the OPINEL 12 VRI, along with its quality stainless steel blade and comfortable ergonomic handle, makes it an essential choice for outdoor enthusiasts and campers, making cutting tasks easy and efficient.
Always clarify the specifications and configuration of the product with the online store manager before purchasing.
