Opinel No.5 111050 - Carbon Steel

The Opinel No.5 Carbon Steel Pocket Knife is a compact, traditional folding knife designed for lightweight everyday tasks. As part of Opinel’s original lineup, it maintains the brand’s classic design and minimalist construction. The blade is made from XC90 high carbon steel, known for excellent sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. This steel delivers strong cutting performance but requires basic maintenance to prevent corrosion. With a 2.36-inch blade, the No.5 is ideal for small tasks such as opening packages, food prep, or light utility work. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a pocket or small kit. The handle is crafted from varnished beechwood, providing a lightweight and comfortable grip while maintaining the knife’s traditional aesthetic. Unlike larger Opinel models, the No.5 does not include the Virobloc locking ring, making it a non-locking slipjoint design suitable for regions or users who prefer simple, traditional mechanisms.
