Safety Comes First

The My First Opinel is a REAL folding pocket knife. It’s designed to provide a positive introduction to knife safety and proper use, teaching responsibility and building confidence in young learners.
This small pocket knife features a fully rounded tip for added safety while still having a sharp blade for clean, easy cuts.

A key feature of this children’s pocket knife is Opinel's ingenious Virobloc® safety ring. This clever ring locks the blade open for safe cutting and locks the blade securely closed for transportation or storage, so there’s no chance of the blade accidentally closing on little fingers when used the wrong way.
It's easy for kids to use - simply twist the ring to lock the blade in place.

Remember, even with its safety features, this is a real pocket knife with a sharp blade. Children must have close adult supervision and follow safe knife handling practices when using this knife.
