Opinel Slim Wood Beech Wood No. 12 – This is a handy filleting knife that’s perfect for both home use and your travels. Made from stainless steel and natural wood, this model features a folding design that includes a lock to keep the blade securely in place. The blade is long and narrow, and it bends easily, allowing you to separate fish fillets from bones with ease. While it can also be used for meat and cheese, it’s best to steer clear of tougher foods to avoid any damage to the blade. This knife is easy to store not just in your kitchen at home, but also convenient to bring along on any adventure. Its foldable feature is a big plus.

Maintenance is a breeze since it’s crafted from practical materials. The blade, made from Sandvik 12C27 steel, is rust-resistant and really easy to sharpen. The handle is crafted from natural beech wood, making it lightweight and comes with a special protective coating. In terms of design, the handle tapers from the midpoint, and its axis lowers compared to the horizontal axis, allowing for a secure grip while in use.
An important feature of the Opinel No. 12 is its Viroblock locking mechanism. This simple mechanism is durable due to its lack of additional parts, and it secures the blade in both the open and folded positions. Therefore, this knife is entirely safe to carry with you for camping or any other outdoor adventures.
