The Opinel N°02 is our smallest folding knife, a distinction it has held since the discontinuation of the N°01 in the 1930s. Despite its diminutive size, this knife is remarkably efficient and accompanies you wherever you go.

Constructed from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, the blade is anti-corrosive due to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, it offers an excellent cutting edge that is easily sharpened.

Our selection of wood is meticulously chosen to meet stringent standards for social responsibility and environmental sustainability. We source beech, hornbeam, walnut, and ash wood, among other varieties, from ecologically managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and the Jura mountains.

Ideal for minor tasks such as opening letters or cutting paper, the N°02 measures under 5 centimetres when folded; we recommend reviewing the size prior to purchase. Due to its compact design, this knife does not include the Virobloc safety ring.
