OPINELMy First No.7 Stainless Steel Children’s Folding Pocket Knife with Safety Rounded Tip

One Very good Quality knife with full rust resistance that holds and retains it's edge lightweight in your pocket well designed and this knife has been in existence since the late 18th century. I've researched this knife company from France and it has a very long history of making quality knives and great quality made with care and you can be sure that it's money well spent. I bought thisbecause it's blunt there's no Point on the blade but very sharp and it's identical to a common butter knife that you'll find in your utensil shelf and this knife has a locking mechanism on it so you can be sure that'll keep on opened and won't close on you while you're using it. One very well made knife is all I can say about this knife and I never thought that France has some quality knives they're selling under the radar!

My children are 8 and 9 and starting a wilderness course. I wanted them to have their own knives but I was really nervous about it until I found these. They are very sharp!! but they have a rounded tip which was exactly what I was wanting given the age of my children. They lock while open and they lock while closed. Worth every penny, easy for the children to use on their own, fits their hand well and fits in their pocket perfectly. The only thing I would change to it is maybe adding a pocket clip or a belt clip just because my son had his and his pocket and it ended up falling out unknowingly. Miraculously we were able to find it but if it was clipped to his pocket it never would have happened.

After a feather edge touchup. So sharp! Perfect! Cut my finger trimming plastic. Slides right thru! Great cheese slicer. Just wipe with dishrag, rinse and carefully dry or more cut towels! Lol

I LOVE Opinel. This is my 4th pocket knife. 2 were gifts for my sons but I used them, they were a size 7 like this one. I also have a size 10 carbon steel one.These are top notch.This time I bought this size 7 for me, to carve wood because they are so sharp and I didnt want a pointed one per my purposes.It's as nice and sharp and handy as expected EXCEPT on this one particular knife, the lock doesn't want to stay in place. I use it but I just have to occasionally check to make sure it's not sliding on me. If you're buying this for a child just tell them to be mindful of that in case you get one with a looser ring like i had, or use it yourself for a bit to assess the tightness of the locking ring

I'm torn about how I feel about this knife. I love that it is sharp, but still has a blunted tip. I love the locking mechanism when open, but would prefer something that kept the knife locked when closed.The knife was sharp right out of the box, but had some small knicks.The biggest draw back over this particular item is the handle is plastic and I assumed it'd be painted wood.The handle looks to be a good size for kids, as it's too small for my petite hands. Its also very light.

I'm biased to Opinel, growing up in Europe and knowing them for years. Super excited they are now available in the US. Opinel is famous for it's incredible sharpness - and this kid's knife is no exception. It's a pocket knife that will easily slice tomatoes! It's NOT a knife to mess around with. When he was young, my brother cut himself in the leg with an Opinel and his skin popped open like a sausage. Clean cut... but... you know :) it's not a knife to whittle with carelessly!SO, all this to say. The knife is amazing. It does have a rounded tip, so there is not a great stabbing danger. The blade locks perfectly with Opinel's twist mechanism. It's just... sharp as heck. Which is great for a knife - just be careful and supervise your kid.

This is the perfect starter knife for a young fellow or gal to learn knife safety with. I would definitely suggest pairing it with child size ANSI cut resistant gloves. Adds a little bit of comfort for the today's parents. When I was a kid, you learned knife safety by cutting yourself!

The knife is lighter in weight than I was expecting because I'm used to larger knives that are all metal. The body of this one is lighter weight wood (not flimsy, just light) and the blade is thin (again, not flimsy) so it won't drag your pocket down when you carry it. You could probably carry it in a shirt pocket, but you'd probably lose it that way.As advertised, there is no point -- it has a rounded end -- so it's not a stabby knife, it's a slicey knife, which is what it's designed for: cutting apples, oranges, sandwiches, etc. at a picnic, or the like. And as mentioned in the headline, the blade is very sharp (which is what you want in a knife), and I found that out on accident when washing it before using it.The locking mechanism is pretty simple: turn the locking ring to unlock it, pull the blade out, and turn the ring back to lock the blade open.I bought it to use as a non-scary looking pocket knife because it has no point on it and it will still cut things. It's also not too small or too large; just the right size for me.
