Opinel Outdoor Junior: The Best Pocket Knife for Adventurous Kids
Is your child ready to graduate from their First Pocket Knife and embark on more serious outdoor adventures?
Look no further than the Opinel Outdoor Junior, the best pocket knife for kids who are eager to explore the great outdoors.
Safety First:
The Opinel Outdoor Junior is a "step-up" pocket knife that combines enhanced safety features, while still offering the functionality young adventurers crave.
The slightly rounded tip provides a balance between safety and effectiveness for tasks like whittling, carving, bushcraft and camping.
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 young fingers if 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. Appropriate adult supervision is recommended for all children when using any knife.

Top Tip for Kids: Drilling holes and watching the sawdust you create is super fun! Did you know there's also a really important role drills have in woodworking by creating pilot holes?
What is a Pilot Hole?
A pilot hole is a small hole (a little bit smaller than the size of the nail or screw you're using) that's drilled into the wood before inserting your nail or screw. Pilot holes help to guide the nail or screw into the wood and make it much easier to hammer or screw them in. Pilot holes also help to reduce the risk of the wood splitting or cracking.
Encourage the Use of Pilot Holes:
Encouraging kids to make pilot holes when working on their projects is a great idea because it can help to prevent frustration and disappointment from the wood splitting or their nail/screw going in the wrong place.
