Opinel Carbon No.05 Folding Knife

Good Little Knife, but ...

This knife was bought for my wife who wanted to carry a small knife around (like me). It is rather small which is great, but unfortunately unlike other Opinel's; this one does not have a locking mechanism (i.e. twist the neck). That is the only reason it gets a 4 start. Obviously, better research on my end could have prevented this purchase and I may have gone up to number 6 which I believe does have the locking mechanism. I more than likely missed that information in the no.5 description, but all in all good little pocket knife, really small and handy, but was a bit disappointed about the lack of locking mechanism.

Costs a little, saves a lot.

If you are like me an expensive knife, pair of sunglasses, cuff links or handkerchief will be lost and never found within the first week of purchase. The Opinel Carbon No.05 costs very little almost guaranteeing it will be with you until the bitter end. While on your mortal coil you will have with Opinel a sharp, trusty and always useful pocket knife. Worth the trip to Kents of Ingelwood any time. And then check out their amazing shaving products.

Wonderful knife!

I bought this for my wife for her clutch. I have a No. 08 that I’m crazy about, and figured she could use something too. Heck - everyone could use an Opinel Knife!
