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.

A lightweight and convenient folding wood saw featuring a 120 mm long stainless steel blade. Its double-sided milling ensures excellent cutting performance.
In the open position, the blade is locked with the Virobloc lock, patented in 1955. It is a steel ring on the handle located at the height of the blade's axis of rotation. After opening the saw, turn it a few degrees so that it covers the slot on the blade in the handle, preventing the blade from moving. In the same way, we secure the saw against accidental opening after folding.
The handle is made of beech wood. It is ergonomically shaped and provides a secure grip. An additional advantage of the handle is its susceptibility to modification. The simplest modification is to drill a hole in the back of the handle for a safety cord. We can also give it any texture, carve it, and stain it to the desired colour.

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.
