N°07 pocket knife with whistle, stainless steel, 8 cm, "Outdoor Junior", Red - Opinel

N°07 pocket knife, equipped with whistle, blade length 8 cm, made from stainless steel, produced by Opinel.

The N°07 Outdoor Junior knife is the ideal companion for young adventurers and sportsmen. It is perfect for scouting, camping, hiking, sailing and other water sports activities.

The handle is resistant to shock, water and high temperatures. Equipped with whistle. The stainless steel blade is solid and sharp, and the Virobloc safety ring locks the blade in both open and closed positions.

Blade with rounded tip
A rounded tip for added safety, also perfect for picnics, for spreading butter and for making sandwiches.

Martensitic stainless steel
The stainless steel used to manufacture OPINEL knife blades is optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The knife blade offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion (wear) resistance, allowing it to withstand the usual contact with hard materials such as ceramics before requiring resharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of not requiring special maintenance under normal use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent...).

Stainless steel hardness: 55-57 HRC.

The handle
The handle is made from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide to withstand shock, moisture and extreme temperatures (-40 °C to +80 °C). The integrated 110-decibel survival whistle works regardless of weather conditions.

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

Blade length: 8 cm
