Pocket knife Opinel N°125 Camper/Scout — slip joint, drop point blade 11 cm, overall 21.3 cm, orange handle

Opinel N°125 Camper/Scout is a slip joint folding pocket knife featuring a drop point stainless steel blade 11 cm long and an overall length of 21.3 cm when open. The knife combines a compact folding design with a robust blade geometry and an orange handle that improves visibility outdoors. With an 18 mm blade depth and a secure manual locking mechanism typical of slip joint knives, it is intended for a range of outdoor and everyday cutting tasks including camping, scouting and general utility work.

Advantages

The slip joint mechanism provides a secure working position without a permanent lock, allowing quick one-handed opening and safe folding for carry. The drop point blade offers controlled tip strength and a broad cutting edge suited to general-purpose tasks. The orange handle enhances visibility in outdoor settings and the compact folded size makes the knife easy to store in a pocket or gear pouch. Materials and finish are chosen to balance durability, ease of maintenance and comfortable handling.

How to use

Open the knife by deploying the blade until the slip joint engages and offers resistance in the open position. Use the broad cutting edge and drop point tip for slicing, trimming, and general-purpose cutting; apply steady, controlled pressure and keep your fingers clear of the blade path. After use, wipe the blade clean and fold it back into the handle until the slip joint secures it closed for safe carrying. Regularly inspect pivot friction and clean any debris from the folding mechanism to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, keep the blade dry after exposure to moisture and sharpen with a suitable stone or sharpener designed for stainless steel. Use the knife within its designed tasks—avoid prying, chiselling or heavy-duty cutting that could damage the blade or pivot. Store folded when not in use and keep out of reach of children.
