Pocket knife set Opinel Opinel Les Essentiels Trio — compact folding knives set

Opinel Les Essentiels Trio is a compact folding knives set from Opinel designed for everyday carry and light outdoor tasks. The set comprises three small folding pocket knives that combine Opinel’s classic simple wooden handles with a reliable locking mechanism.
