Opinel Folding Knife Carbon Steel No. 7

The Opinel Folding Knife Carbon Steel No. 7 is the perfect “in-between” size for those who feel the No. 6 is a bit small yet don’t need the larger No. 8. Compact and versatile, it’s an excellent everyday cutting tool for gardeners and small farmers, suitable for trimming plants, harvesting herbs, cutting twine, or light pruning tasks. The classic beechwood handle provides a comfortable grip for extended use, while the lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a pocket, apron, or tool pouch.

Crafted in France since 1890, the No. 7 features a high-carbon steel blade that holds a sharp edge exceptionally well and is easy to sharpen for long-term use. The Virobloc® safety ring locks the blade securely open during work and closed for safe storage. With proper care—drying and lightly oiling the blade after use—this knife will serve faithfully for years. It’s an ideal tool for those practicing sustainable gardening, reducing reliance on disposable cutting tools.

Durable, practical, and eco-friendly, the Opinel No. 7 is a trusted companion for all kinds of plant care, from garden beds to field harvests. See other sizes of Opinel knives and explore more durable, high-quality garden tools in our Tools & Equipment collection.
