Its extremely robust blade is equipped with a wire cutter (5mm max cable diameter) and with a wire stripper (1.8mm max cable diameter). The handle includes two screwdriver tips.
F
Martensitic stainless steel
Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent ...).
Handle
Fibreglass-reinforced polyamide to withstand shocks and humidity, with two built-in bits : flat screwdriver (4 mm screws) and crosshead screwdriver (3.5 to 5 mm screws), magnetised bit holder.
Safety ring
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N¡ã 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
