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.
Built to Thrive in the Wild:
Just like the classic Opinel knives passed down through generations, Opinel’s Outdoor Junior folding pocket knife is built to last. The handle is made from tough polymer reinforced with fiberglass and has a textured finish to provide a comfortable and secure grip, even when hands are wet or cold.
It's lightweight, water-resistant, shockproof, and able to withstand extreme temperatures.
The knife’s handle features a built-in 100-decibel whistle that can be heard for more than 250 metres and will work in all weather conditions. It’s perfect for emergencies, signalling for help and attracting attention.
There's also an attachment point for a cord or lanyard to keep your knife conveniently within reach on your belt or backpack.
The blade of this pocket knife is made from high-quality Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel which offers both high corrosion resistance and excellent sharpness. It is easy to maintain with a high resistance to wear, making it the perfect outdoor knife for kids!
Prepared for Any Challenge:
The Opinel Outdoor Junior children's pocket knife is more than just a knife; it's a reliable companion for young adventurers - teaching responsibility, building confidence, mastering skills, and fostering independence.
This versatile knife is ideal for whittling, building shelters, bushcraft, carving, camping, hiking, fishing, adventure sports, food prep, and more!
