How to use

Open the knife using the customary Opinel mechanism and lock the blade before use. Use the plain edge for general cutting and the serrated section when working with ropes or fibrous materials. The shackle key can be used to operate shackles in the 4–10 mm range. Use the whistle for signalling when required. After use, close and secure the blade and store the knife dry to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean and dry the blade after exposure to moisture or salt air. Sharpen the plain edge as needed and avoid using the serrated section on hard materials to preserve cutting performance. Keep out of reach of children and follow local regulations for carrying folding knives.
