Falling on the smaller end of our folding knife size range, the No.04 is a convenient everyday carry for many. Featuring the signature Opinel blade with a varnished beech wood handle, slip this into your pocket or bag to ensure you're never without your Opinel! Due to the size, this knife does not feature the Virobloc® safety ring.
Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Do not wash the carbon blade by running it under water, simply wipe it down after use. If wet, immediately dry the carbon blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the carbon blade with a food safe oil before closing the knife is recommended (this prevents oxidation). Over time, carbon steel can develop a patina and may possibly show some corrosion, depending on use.
Keep your blade sharp and your handle shiny with our maintenance kit.

the knife will easily fit just about everywhere. the last easter, i hid 4 of them with my kids names hand-engraved into them as presents instead of candy
Perfect size for any style pants folks don’t seem to get quite as nervous pulling out a #4. As they did when I withdrew my #8.
This knife is so light that it has become my daily carry pocket knife, and I love it because the blade retains its edge so well. I have carried many knives since my Boy Scout days and I have found that just a simple, well made blade is all I need. For the price, this little Opinel is one of life's true treasures. If you love collecting knives and haven't tried one of these products, you owe it to yourself to invest in one. I also own a #8 and it is my standard whittling knife.
My brother gave me this knife for my 49th birthday. He knows that I always carry a pocket knife, as a gentleman always does. He got this knife and thought it was just like me, "old-school cool" and knew I would love it, so he gave it to me. He's right. The carbon steel blade is one of the best I've ever used. This knife is the perfect size/shape/weight for a gentleman's pocket knife and the wood handle adds an element of old-school distinction. I will carry this with me as long as I live.
Hey Dave, we're glad to hear you are loving your knife. No.04 is one of our favorite sizes too!
