Opinel - Keychain N°02 Stainless Steel Folding Knife – Ultra-Compact Micro Pocket Tool

The Opinel Keychain N°02 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is a fascinating piece of alpine history, holding the proud distinction of being the absolute smallest folding knife in Opinel's entire traditional range since the 1930s. Measuring less than 5 centimetres when folded, this incredibly lightweight micro-tool is engineered to go anywhere you do, attached seamlessly to your keys. Combining over 130 years of French craftsmanship with high-quality, care-free modern materials, it delivers remarkable cutting efficiency for its miniature size.

Best For Minimalists, daily commuters, and collectors seeking the ultimate pocket-friendly, featherlight micro knife that handles minor daily opening tasks without adding any bulk to a keyring.

Key Features

• The Ultimate Micro Scale: As the smallest model in production since the discontinuation of the N°01, this pocket knife is uniquely compact and designed to be an ultra-discreet daily companion.

• Low-Maintenance Stainless Steel: Crafted from premium Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, enriched with chrome to provide exceptional anti-corrosive properties, ensuring it remains completely rust-resistant in your pocket.

• Remarkable Cutting Edge: Engineered with a carbon content of at least 0.40%, delivering a surprisingly sharp, clean-slicing edge that holds its bite well and is effortless to re-sharpen.

• Vibrant Colour Selection: Personalise your everyday carry with a choice of classic and contemporary lacquered handle finishes, including traditional natural **Beech**, alongside highly visible **Anise, Orange, Green, and Cyan Blue**.

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.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

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.
