Opinel My First No.7 Stainless Steel Children’s Folding Pocket Knife

My First Opinel No. 7 Folding Knife for Children with Round-Ended Blade

Introduce your children to useful knife skills with the No. 07 My First Opinel Folding Knife, specially designed with a round-ended blade for added safety. Perfect for teaching kids carving, whittling, food preparation, and more, this knife features a patented Virobloc locking ring to keep the blade securely opened during use and locked shut during transport. Available in a range of colors, this is an ideal scout knife for young learners. However, as with any sharp object, adult supervision is recommended at all times.

Crafted with Sandvik(R) 12C27 Modified stainless steel, the blade is known for its anti-corrosive properties and excellent cutting edge. The Virobloc locking mechanism ensures that the knife remains safely closed in your pocket when not in use and locked open when needed. In addition, the sustainable wooden handle makes the knife lightweight and easy to handle. The rounded tip provides a safe introduction to knife handling for children.

The Opinel folding knife is designed with five key elements: the blade, wooden handle, fixed ferrule, rivet, and rotating Virobloc locking ring. With a 3.5-inch blade and open length of 6.5 inches, it is the perfect size for everyday carry.

To keep your Opinel folding knife in top condition, avoid washing it in the dishwasher, as the wood may swell and make the knife difficult to open. Instead, hand-wash your knives and allow them to air dry. The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low maintenance and resistant to rust, and can be polished and cared for with organic oils.

Opinel has been crafting knives in the French Alps for over 130 years, starting with Joseph Opinel's original pocket knife created in 1890. The company remains committed to preserving quality and simplicity in every knife they produce. All Opinel knives are made in the Savoie region of France by a team of 150 employees, who manufacture over 5 million knives each year.

Our No. 7 My First Opinel No. 7 Beechwood knife is the perfect addition for family trips, camping, and introducing children to basic knife skills in a safe and fun way. Whether it's for whittling, chopping food, or learning new skills, this knife offers a rounded safety blade, easy-to-grip handle, and locking mechanism for improved safety.

In 1955, Opinel introduced the Virobloc safety ring, fitted to all folding knives sizes No6 through No12. Made of stainless steel, the Virobloc features two sections - one fixed and one sliding - to keep the blade securely in place.

Cleaning your Opinel knife is easy as well, as stainless steel blades are highly resistant and can be cleaned with a sponge, warm water, and dishwashing liquid.

Since its inception, the company has continued to manufacture its knives in the French Alps as a testament to their commitment to quality and tradition. With this rich history and dedication to craftsmanship, Opinel knives have been carried by generations of individuals, from artists and explorers to farmers worldwide.
