Opinel - Giant N°13 Stainless Steel Folding Knife – Premium Oversized Collectible & Outdoor Statement Folder

The Opinel Giant N°13 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is a monumental, awe-inspiring masterpiece that stands as the largest model ever produced in Opinel's storied history. First introduced in the 1970s as a whimsical promotional display piece, this colossal folder quickly captured the imagination of cutlery enthusiasts and has since evolved into a highly coveted, fully functional cult classic. Measuring a staggering 50.2 cm when fully extended, it matches the size of a short sword or heavy machete, yet it retains all the structural hallmarks of Opinel's timeless alpine design. Forged from low-maintenance Swedish stainless steel and anchored by an enormous solid beechwood handle, it serves as the ultimate conversation starter, a prized centerpiece for collectors, and a formidable tool for outdoor barbecues.

Best For Knife collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, backyard grill masters, and camp chefs looking for a legendary, oversized statement piece that balances historical novelty with heavy-duty, real-world slicing capability around the fire.

Pro Tip & Care Guidance: While the Giant N°13 is fully functional and engineered to cut, its sheer size means it should be handled with extra mindfulness and respect compared to a standard pocket knife. Because the premium blade is made from high-grade Sandvik stainless steel, it is exceptionally easy to clean and maintain. To preserve the structural integrity and smooth grain of the massive beech wood handle, always avoid the dishwasher and never submerge the knife in water. Simply wipe the blade down with warm, soapy water after a barbecue, dry it completely immediately with a clean cloth, and store it safely. A light drop of mineral oil applied to the oversized pivot pin occasionally will keep its legendary folding deployment smooth for generations!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
