Great wood saw. However, you must remember to cut only towards yourself, not away from yourself, as it may break otherwise. Very good safety mechanism – works smoothly and effectively locks.
A lightweight and convenient folding wood saw featuring a 120 mm long stainless steel blade. Its double-sided milling ensures excellent cutting performance.
When open, the blade is secured by the Virobloc lock, patented in 1955. This lock is a steel ring on the handle positioned at the blade's pivot axis. Once the knife is opened, the ring is rotated a few degrees to cover the blade slot in the handle, preventing any movement. Similarly, the knife is secured from accidental opening when folded.
Made from beech wood, the handle is ergonomically shaped to offer a secure grip. It also allows for easy customization. For example, a hole can be drilled at the back for attaching a safety cable. Additionally, the handle can be textured, carved, or stained to any desired color.

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.
