Opinel - N°18 Folding Garden Saw – Efficient Cutting for Every Task

The Opinel N°18 Carbon Steel Folding Garden Saw is an expertly crafted, high-performance tool designed to make the cutting of branches and various gardening tasks effortless. Combining a razor-sharp, tooth-set blade with the reliability of a classic folding design, this saw is the perfect companion for maintaining your garden or tackling outdoor projects with precision and speed.

Best For Gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts who require a portable, powerful, and durable saw. It is ideal for pruning medium-sized branches, clearing garden debris, or taking along on camping trips for light woodwork and brush clearing.

Key Features

• Precision Stainless Steel Blade: The 18 cm blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, which is renowned for its durability and anti-corrosive properties. The inclusion of chrome ensures that the saw remains resilient against rust, requiring minimal maintenance even after regular use in damp garden conditions.

• Exceptional Cutting Performance: With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, the steel provides a hard-wearing cutting edge that stays sharp, allowing you to saw through tough branches with smooth, efficient strokes.

• Patented Safety Ring: Equipped with our signature patented safety mechanism, the blade can be securely locked in the open position while in use for maximum safety and stability, or locked firmly in the closed position to ensure secure transport in your gear bag or pocket.

• Ergonomic Design: Featuring the classic Opinel wooden handle, the N°18 Saw provides a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for extended periods of labour without hand fatigue.

Gardening Pro Tip: For the most efficient cut, allow the sharp teeth of the saw to do the work by using long, steady strokes rather than forcing the blade. After finishing your garden tasks, wipe the blade clean to remove any sap or debris. A quick dry before closing the saw will help preserve the handle and mechanism, ensuring your tool remains a dependable favourite for years to come.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

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.
