Opinel - Traditional Classic N°04 Stainless Steel Folding Knife – Practical Pocket Companion

The Opinel N°04 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is a highly compact, practical tool designed for effortless everyday carry. Expertly engineered for convenience and ease of use, it is particularly well-suited for smaller, precise tasks. The blade is paired with Opinel's classic beechwood handle, creating a lightweight package that fits comfortably in any pocket. Due to its scaled-down dimensions, this model does not incorporate the Virobloc® safety ring.

Best For Anyone seeking an ultra-portable daily companion that requires zero maintenance, offering a slightly longer blade than the miniature N°02 and N°03 while remaining highly pocket-friendly.

Key Features

• Low-Maintenance Stainless Steel: Crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, enriched with chrome to deliver exceptional anti-corrosive properties and hassle-free upkeep.

• Sustainably Sourced Beechwood: The beautiful, durable wooden handle is made entirely from beechwood harvested from ecologically managed French woodlands and the Jura mountains.

• Compact & Ergonomic: Measuring just 6.5 cm when closed, it balances miniature portability with a handle shape that still offers a secure, controlled grip for small cutting tasks.

• Reliable French Engineering: Offers the timeless silhouette and dependable pivot mechanism that has made Opinel a household name in classic folding knives.

Specifications

• Handle / Closed Length: 6.5 cm

• Total Length: 11.5 cm

• Blade Material: Sandvik 12C27 Modified Stainless Steel

• Handle Material: Sustainably Sourced Beechwood

Ideal For (Uses)

• Everyday Carry (EDC): Slipping into a pocket, coin pouch, or travel kit for a lightweight, dependable blade that goes unnoticed until you need it.

• Precision Utility Tasks: Perfect for cleanly opening packages, slicing through heavy packing tape, scoring cardboard, or cutting twine.

• Office and Craft Work: Functions wonderfully as a classic desk knife for opening mail, trimming paper documents, or tackling detailed craft projects.

• Care-Free Travel: An excellent choice for humid environments, picnics, or daily commutes where you want a reliable edge without worrying about rust or routine oiling.

Pro Tip: At 6.5 cm closed, the N°04 is the ideal "sweet spot" for those who find the N°02 and N°03 a bit too small for their hands but still want an ultra-light knife. To keep the folding action smooth, simply clear out any pocket lint from the blade slot and add a drop of lubricant to the pivot point every now and then!

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:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ 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)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

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.
