Great saw for wood. However, you have to remember to cut only towards yourself, not away from yourself, as it might break otherwise. Very good safety feature – works smoothly and locks effectively.

Lightweight and handy folding wood saw equipped with a 120 mm long stainless steel blade. Double-sided milling provides very good cutting properties.
In the open position, the blade is locked with the Virobloc lock, patented in 1955. This is a steel ring on the handle located at the height of the blade's pivot axis. After opening the knife, we rotate it a few degrees, so that it covers the blade slot in the handle, so that the blade has no possibility of movement. In an analogous way, we secure the knife from accidental opening after folding.
The handle is made of beech wood. It is ergonomically contoured and provides a secure grip. An additional advantage of the handle is its susceptibility to modification. The simplest would be to drill a hole on the back of the handle for a safety cable. We can also give it any texture, subject it to carving and stain it to the color of your choice.

MILITARY is a premium dealer of Opinel.
Opinel is a French brand with a rich history dating back to 1890, originating in the Savoy region. Its creator, Joseph Opinel, designed the first pocket knife, which quickly became a symbol of everyday use thanks to its simplicity and functionality. In 1955, the company developed the Virobloc locking mechanism, later modernized, which remains a distinctive feature of its products to this day. In 1985, the brand was recognized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, which included one of Opinel's models in its list of the 100 best-designed objects in the world. The company's products also found their way into the MoMA collection in New York. Production is carried out in Chambery with care for the environment – the wood is sourced from French forests and the resulting waste is used to heat the production facilities. The range includes folding tools, kitchen utensils, cutlery, and whetstones, which have become synonymous with durability, simplicity, and the French lifestyle.
