Opinel No. 09 Cime Stainless Steel Folding Knife

$70.00

The N°09 Cime pocket knife is unique and showcases the meticulous work carried out in the woodwork workshop. It has a 9cm stainless steel blade and a handle made by assembling three French woods in contrasting colours: sycamore maple, heat-treated ash and black walnut. The knife also has a safety ferrule which secures the blade in the open and closed position. This knife evokes the summits, mountain peaks and the crests of waves. It comes in a stylish box and is also a great gift idea.

DETAILS
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 ...).

Blade length

9 cm

Safety ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 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).

Handle

The handle of the N°09 Cime knife is a blend of three French woods: maple, heat-treated ash and black walnut, with high-gloss finish.
