The 'My First Opinel' #7 Round-tipped Safety Knife is a top - notch choice for children aged seven and above. Whether they're into wood carving, building cool stuff, or exploring nature, this Opinel knife offers a safe experience. It's crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. Thanks to the added chrome, it's anti - corrosive and needs no special upkeep. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, it has an excellent cutting edge. In 1955, Marcel Opinel invented the Virobloc safety ring, which is on all folding knives from N° 06. Made of stainless steel, the Virobloc has a fixed and a sliding part. It not only locks the blade open for safe use but also locks it closed for safe transport. The round - ended tip boosts safety and is great for picnics, spreading butter, and making sandwiches. The handle is made of varnished beech, and the blade is 80mm long. You can also add our engraving service to personalize the knife with a message or name.
Using the Opinel No 7 Safety Knife is easy. First, open the blade and use the Virobloc safety ring to lock it in place for safe cutting. For activities like wood carving, hold the handle firmly and make gentle cuts. When you're done, slide the Virobloc to unlock the blade and close it. Remember, this knife is for children aged seven and up, so adult supervision is recommended. To keep it in good condition, clean it with a dry cloth after use. Since it's made of anti - corrosive stainless steel, it doesn't need any special maintenance, but try to keep it dry to prevent any possible rust. If you choose the engraving service, take extra care not to scratch the engraved area.
