The Opinel No.07 Chestnut & Garlic Folding Knife is part of Opinel's Specialty Knives Collection and also its Premium Woods Collection.
The unique No.07 features a short and sturdy 1.5" blade with beak shape that is designed to score and peel chestnuts, remove fruit pits, and peel garlic cloves. The blade is made of 12C27 Sandvik Stainless Steel. The grind is an almost imperceptibly convex grind that cuts like a full-flat grind but reflects light in a more beautiful way.
The blade locks in both the open and closed positions via the iconic Virobloc locking system designed by Marcel Opinel in 1955.
The handle is made of varnished chestnut wood.
Dimensions are 10cm folded and 14cm deployed.
The No.7 is very lightweight. Weight is less than 1 oz.
Made in France.

Maintenance Oil will also penetrate the beechwood handles and prevent them from cracking when dry and rotting when wet.
Keep all of your cutlery nice and sharp. Not only will your blades be more effective when they are sharp, they will actually be safer to use because they will cut with less pressure than a dull blade and behave much more predictably.
There is no single or "best" way to sharpen cutlery, because we all have our different preferences and skill levels. Different sharpening methods will also suit different blade shapes and sizes, and you probably would not use the same sharpening tool on a pocketknife and sword. To make the matter even less universal, some prefer to sharpen at home while others sharpen in the field, so the "best" sharpening tools will necessarily differ. Excellent ways to sharpen include:
- Edge Pro Sharpening System
- Hults Bruk Grinding Stone
- Opinel Manual Knife Sharpener
