The Opinel Blog

Inspired by the timeless beauty of these natural wonders, Opinel National Parks Collection was created in collaboration with local artists who have captured the essence of the parks they call home. We've asked them to share their creative process, their favorite spots in the Grand Canyon, Great Smoky Mountains and Yellowstone and what they love about Opinel!

Opinel's heritage is rooted in a deep respect for nature for over 135 years. Today, we’re proud to take that commitment one step further by partnering with Leave No Trace—a national nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the outdoors through science, education, and stewardship—to launch our National Parks Collection: an ode to some of the United States’ most cherished natural treasures.
