The Opinel No.12 Folding Saw Knife is a handy folding saw designed for gardeners and campers who rarely ever cut anything larger than 3" in diameter (and a 3" limb is huge in real life). At only 102g in weight and 17cm folded length, the No.12 Folding Saw Knife can almost fit in your pocket yet it can still cut trees and branches up to 8cm in diameter.
The sawtooth blade is 12cm long and cuts on the pull stroke to minimize the risk of breaking the thin blade during use. The blade material is carbon steel with an anti-corrosion coating.
The engineering of this saw is similar to that of the other Opinel folders and thus the blade can be locked in both the open and closed positions by turning the famous Virobloc. When the blade is closed, the No.12 Folding Saw Knife looks nearly identical to most Opinel No.12 folders such as the Opinel No.12 Carbon Steel Folding Knife and has the same beautiful, rustic charm.
The wood handle is varnished beechwood and features a hole near the pommel for a lanyard if you want one. If you like colors, this same saw with a beechwood handle with an apple-green stainis available as part of the Opinel Stainless & Carbon Steel Garden Knife Trio, 3 Colors.
Dimensions are 17cm folded and 29cm deployed.
Made in France.
The No.12 Folding Saw Knife is part of Opinel's beautiful "Garden" line of cutlery that includes:
Keep your folding saw and all of your Opinel gardening tools in top working condition with Opinel Maintenance Oil. Maintenance Oil will protect the steel against corrosion and keep the Virobloc turning smoothly. Maintenance Oil will also penetrate the beechwood handles and prevent them from cracking when dry and rotting when wet. If you are sawing a particularly tough branch, you can even lubricate the saw's blade with Maintenance Oil to prevent it from clogging or binding in the wood.
