There are two models of Opinel pruning knives—one comes with an 8 cm blade, the other, 10 centimeters. Officially, they are called “No 8″ and “No 10″ respectively. Both knives are foldable, with curved blades made of high grade carbon stainless steel, and handles made of Beechwood. They have a safety ring (ferrule) dubbed “Vibroloc,” which locks the blade in open or closed position. It (Vibroloc) was invented by Opinel founder, Marcel Opinel.
