Opinel Gardener’s Tool

The N°12 Saw Knife is ideal for cutting through thicker branches, the N°08 Garden Knife is a versatile tool for harvesting and general cutting, and the N°08 Pruning Knife features a curved blade specifically shaped for precision pruning and trimming foliage.

The set utilizes a mix of both. The stainless steel blades offer excellent corrosion resistance for damp garden conditions, while the carbon steel components provide superior edge retention and sharpness for tougher cutting tasks.

Yes, like most classic Opinel knives, these tools are equipped with the signature Virobloc safety ring. This allows you to lock the blade in both the open and closed positions for added safety during use and transport.

After use, wipe the blades clean and ensure they are completely dry before folding them back into the handle. If you are working in particularly wet conditions, a light coating of mineral oil on the blade can help protect the steel from oxidation.

The N°08 handles are a standard size that fits most hands comfortably, while the N°12 saw features a longer handle to provide better leverage and grip when sawing through thicker branches.
