The Opinel No.09 stainless steel folding knife pairs a 3.54-inch (9 cm) Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel blade with a handle of varnished, PEFC-certified beech wood from eco-managed forests in France's Jura and Vercors regions. Less of a pocket knife and more of a project knife, the No.09 is a step up in size from the No.08. Reliable and robust, it suits bushcraft, hunting and bigger jobs around the shop or yard. The blade is Sandvik 12C27 modified martensitic stainless steel hardened to 55-57 HRC and ground to Opinel's convex Yatagan profile. It needs no special upkeep in ordinary use, though long contact with acids, salt water or detergent can still mark it. Opinel's patented Virobloc safety ring, introduced in 1955, twists to lock the blade open while you work and closed while it rides in a pocket or pack. It measures about 8.18 inches open and 4.65 inches closed and weighs about 2 oz. Made by Opinel in Savoie, France, with the Crowned Hand stamped on the blade and a limited lifetime warranty. Ships in a blister pack.
