As part of its new Outdoor Collection, Opinel continues its long tradition of French craftsmanship with a renewed focus on specialized outdoor performance. The collection introduces purpose-built folding knives designed for distinct environments, with each model tailored to real-world use cases in the outdoors.
Among the standout releases is the No.09 Ocean, a knife designed specifically for life on the water, where salt exposure, moisture, and constant rope work demand a reliable and corrosion-resistant tool. Developed by Opinel, it builds on the brand’s classic folding knife heritage and adapts it for sailors, boaters, and marine adventurers who need practical, durable gear.
Built for Marine Conditions
Unlike standard folding knives, the No.09 Ocean is engineered specifically for saltwater environments. Every component is selected to resist corrosion and maintain performance in wet, demanding conditions.
From deck work to offshore sailing, it is designed to remain functional even after prolonged exposure to seawater.
Key Features of the Opinel No.09 Ocean:
-
3.5" partially serrated stainless steel blade (PVD coated)
Corrosion-resistant blade designed for marine use. The serrated section improves performance when cutting rope, lines, and other fibrous materials, while the 3.5-inch length offers a balance of control and cutting power for onboard tasks.
-
Integrated marlinespike
Built for essential sailing work, the marlinespike helps with untying tight knots, working with rope, and handling rigging duties efficiently on deck.
-
Shackle key
A practical onboard tool for opening and tightening shackles and marine fittings. It reduces the need to carry separate tools and speeds up common sailing adjustments.
-
Fiberglass-reinforced handle
Engineered for strength and durability in harsh marine environments. The handle provides a secure grip even when wet, gloved, or exposed to saltwater spray, ensuring reliable handling in demanding conditions.
-
Virobloc® double safety locking system
Locks the blade securely in both open and closed positions. This adds an important layer of safety, preventing accidental opening or folding during active use or transport on a moving vessel.
-
Integrated 110 dB emergency whistle
A high-decibel safety feature designed for maritime emergencies. Effective for signaling in low visibility, man-overboard situations, or general onboard communication when voice is not enough.
-
