Opinel Folding Pruning/Harvest Knife

The curved, Yatagan-style blade is specifically designed to hook around stems and branches. This shape allows you to pull the blade toward you for a clean, precise cut, which is essential for pruning shrubs or harvesting crops without damaging the surrounding plant.

The Virobloc is a rotating collar on the handle that locks the blade in place. You simply turn the ring to secure the blade when it is open for safe use, or when it is closed to prevent it from accidentally unfolding in your pocket or bag.

No, the blade is made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. While it is designed to withstand outdoor use, it is still best practice to wipe the blade dry after use to maintain its edge and longevity.

This tool is designed for precision tasks like pruning, harvesting, and cutting ties, rather than heavy-duty clearing. Because it is a folding knife, it is best suited for delicate or medium-duty garden work rather than hacking through thick, woody brush.

To keep the handle in good condition, avoid soaking it in water or leaving it exposed to extreme moisture for long periods. If the wood feels dry over time, you can lightly treat it with a food-safe mineral oil to preserve the finish.
