The traditional Opinel blade is called the Yatagan. Its shape is inspired by a Turkish saber with a raised tip. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile, ensuring robustness and easy sharpening.

The Virobloc safety ring was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. It is present on all folding knives from model N°06 onwards. The Virobloc is cut from stainless steel and consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safe use), it is now also possible to lock the blade in the closed position (safe transport).
