Folding Serrated Knife Opinel 113 — Opinel serrated blade, wooden handle

The Opinel Folding Serrated Knife 113 is a compact pocket knife that pairs a serrated stainless-steel blade with a traditional wooden handle. Designed for food preparation and light outdoor tasks, this Opinel serrated blade folds into the handle for safe transport and features a simple locking mechanism to keep the blade secure during use. Its length and serrated edge make it practical for slicing bread, cutting fruit, and performing precision sawing cuts where a smooth-edge knife may tear the material.

Advantages

The serrated blade provides superior cutting performance on crusty bread and fibrous produce, reducing crushing and preserving texture. The wooden handle offers a comfortable grip and a classic aesthetic while remaining lightweight for everyday carry. The folding design and integrated lock increase safety in storage and transport, and the stainless-steel construction helps resist corrosion when used for food-related tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting bread and rolls
• Preparing fruit and vegetables
• Picnic and outdoor food preparation
• Everyday carry for light utility tasks

Key specifications

• Blade type: Serrated edge stainless steel
• Handle material: Wood
• Folding mechanism with locking system
• Compact, pocket-friendly form factor

How to use

Open the knife by rotating the blade out of the handle until it locks into place. Hold the wooden handle firmly and use a gentle sawing motion when cutting to let the serrations do the work; avoid applying excessive downward force. After use, clean the blade with warm water and mild detergent if it has been in contact with food, dry thoroughly, then fold the blade back into the handle and ensure it is securely closed before carrying or storing.

Usage recommendations

For food use, rinse and dry the blade after each use to prevent residue buildup and maintain corrosion resistance. Use the serrated knife primarily for items that benefit from a sawing action, such as breads and fibrous fruits; for fine slicing tasks, consider a straight-edge knife. Store folded in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the wooden handle and blade performance.
