Folding pocket knife Opinel Inox Natural 12 Serrated — stainless steel blade, wooden handle, model 12

Opinel Inox Natural 12 Serrated is a folding pocket knife with a serrated stainless steel blade and a natural wooden handle.

Advantages

The serrated stainless steel blade provides reliable cutting performance on fibrous and soft materials, reducing the need for repeated sawing motions. The natural wooden handle offers secure hand contact and a classic appearance while keeping the knife lightweight. The folding design and locking ring increase safety during use and make the knife easy to carry in a pocket or pack. The simple construction also facilitates maintenance and cleaning.

Suitable for

• Cutting rope, cordage and webbing
• Food preparation while camping or picnicking
• General outdoor tasks such as preparing kindling or cutting straps
• Everyday light utility work around home and garden

Key specifications

• Blade type: serrated edge for improved cutting on fibrous materials
• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance
• Handle material: natural wood for comfortable grip and reduced weight
• Locking system: rotating collar lock that secures the blade in open position
• Design: folding pocket knife for compact storage and transport

How to use

Open the blade by rotating the locking collar and swinging the blade into the open position until the collar engages. Ensure the collar is fully rotated into the locked position before applying cutting force. Use the serrated edge with steady forward or backward motions suited to the material—serrations are effective on rope, fabric and food with resistant skins. After use, rotate the collar to unlock, fold the blade into the handle, and secure the collar in the closed position for safe pocket carry. Regularly clean the blade and handle, and dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, verify the locking collar is fully engaged before cutting. Avoid twisting loads or prying with the blade; serrated folding knives perform best with controlled slicing motions. Maintain the wooden handle by keeping it dry and occasionally treating with mineral oil if it appears dry. Clean and dry the blade after contact with acidic foods or saltwater to prevent corrosion.
