Opinel No 10 Les Effile Slim – Olive / Mirror Blade

The Effilé 10 olive now features a more urban blade with a more rounded tip, as well as a more streamlined handle. The Virobloc safety ring is stamped with the new logo for the Effilé range.
The 10 cm mirror finish blade is very handy for cutting food, so you can use this pocket knife even at the table. The olive wood makes the knife even more unique.
Made in France

Martensitic stainless steel

Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent …).

Blade length: 10 cm

Handle

The mythical tree of the Mediterranean ! This hard wood has a yellow to orange appearance and has a dense and often tortuous veining. Soft to the touch it has a nice polish. The handle is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt.

Mirror-finish blade

Double polish for a mirror effect

Handle length: 12.66 cm

Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
