How to use

To open the Opinel No. 07, hold the handle firmly and rotate the blade out of the handle until fully extended. Rotate the Virobloc ring to secure the blade in the open position before use.

After use, rotate the Virobloc ring to unlock the blade, fold the blade back into the handle, and ensure the ring is returned to the closed position for safe carry. Regular cleaning and drying after exposure to moisture will help preserve blade condition.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, sharpen the blade with appropriate sharpening tools, keep the pivot area free of debris, and avoid cutting very hard materials that could damage the edge or the handle. When using the knife for food preparation, clean blade and handle surfaces thoroughly after each use.
