Opinel - Traditional Classic N°09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife – Robust Multi-Use Pocket Knife

The Opinel N°09 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is a robust, multi-use tool that masterfully combines heavy-duty functionality with classic French design. Larger than the flagship N°08, this model provides increased blade length and a more substantial handle, making it an exceptional choice for demanding cutting chores. Equipped with a corrosion-resistant blade, an ergonomic beechwood handle, and the innovative Virobloc® security system, this versatile knife is built to deliver reliability and peace of mind to handymen and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Best For Handymen, campers, and everyday carry (EDC) users with larger hands who need a more substantial, hard-working pocket knife that requires zero complex maintenance.

Key Features

• Low-Maintenance Stainless Steel: Equipped with a high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade that ensures outstanding durability, rust resistance, and longevity without requiring constant oiling.

• Robust Ergonomic Grip: Features a slightly larger, expertly contoured beechwood handle that fits naturally and securely into the hand, providing maximum control and comfortable leverage for tougher tasks.

• Patented Virobloc® Security System: Outfitted with Opinel's legendary safety ring collar, allowing you to lock the blade securely open during heavy utility work or safely closed inside your pocket or toolbox.

• Time-Tested Performance: Blends over 130 years of traditional French alpine craftsmanship with modern, care-free materials to create a dependable tool that handles demanding workloads with ease.

Ideal For (Uses)

• Handyman & DIY Work: A dependable workspace tool for scoring materials, trimming plastic tubing, stripping wires, and performing quick, heavy-duty adjustments around the job site or home.

• Outdoor Activities & Camping: The perfect size for cutting thick rope, slicing paracord, prepping firewood tinder, or handling camp kitchen tasks with confidence.

• Everyday Heavy Tasks: Effortlessly tearing through thick double-walled cardboard shipping boxes, heavy plastic retail straps, and dense packaging materials.

Pro Tip: If you find standard pocket knives a bit too small for a confident grip, the N°09 is your perfect match. It steps up the scaling just enough to give you a true full-hand hold for maximum leverage. Because the blade is modified stainless steel, it is incredibly easy to maintain—simply rinse it with warm water after dirty tasks, wipe it dry, and it's ready for action!

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

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.
