Opinel N°07 Carbone

Is there something better than slicing some Camembert cheese on your trail baguette with an Opinel knife? Sometimes all you need is a small folder. Opinel No 7 is a popular choice for an ultralight knife. It is useful when opening food packages, spreading butter and fixing up things. You can also use it to make a fire, although you maybe won’t achieve those masterful feathersticks. In Nordic forests you can often find birch bark for firemaking, which makes lighting a fire less complicated.

Number seven is the best Opinel knife for backpacking, as the handle fills the hand quite well. It remains ultralight. Number seven has a rotating blade lock that ensures safe use.

French Opinel has been crafting knives since 1890.
