Opinel

Since 1890, Opinel has been manufacturing folding knives in the heart of the Savoie Alps, knives that have become an icon of French craftsmanship. From the legendary N°08 pocket knife to nomadic cooking, each model combines a steel blade (stainless or carbon), a wooden handle, and the Virobloc® safety ring invented in 1955. Simple, robust, and repairable objects, guaranteed for life, that are passed down from generation to generation.

And why knives at a map and guidebook specialist? Because an Opinel is the natural extension of adventures planned with a map in hand: it slips into a pocket or backpack, alongside the hiking guide, ready to cut bread and sausage during a break, carve a stake at the bivouac, or peel a fruit along the way. The map to find the way, the Opinel to savor every stop.
