## Description

desertcart.com : Opinel N Degree5 Bechwood Handle Carbon Steel Knife, 6 cm Blade : Sports & Outdoors

Review: The Opinel No. 3: A Tiny Titan of Precision - The Opinel No. 3, the smallest of the traditional Opinel line, is a marvel of miniaturized utility. Don't let its diminutive size fool you; this little knife is a precision instrument, perfect for delicate tasks and everyday carry when space is at a premium. What immediately impresses is the sharpness of its slender blade. Even at this scale, the Opinel's renowned edge holds true. It's ideal for tasks requiring finesse, such as opening small packages, detailed crafting, or even precise food preparation on the go. The classic beechwood handle, while small, remains comfortable and secure in the hand. The simple, elegant design is a testament to Opinel's enduring appeal. It's a knife that exudes a sense of timeless craftsmanship. The Virobloc locking ring, even in its smaller form, functions flawlessly. It provides a secure lock, ensuring safety during use, a crucial feature in such a compact tool. The No. 3's ultra-compact size makes it incredibly easy to carry. It disappears into a pocket or bag, making it a perfect companion for travel, picnics, or any situation where a small, precise knife is needed. While it may not be suitable for heavy-duty tasks, the Opinel No. 3 excels at what it's designed for: delicate work and effortless portability. It's a testament to the fact that even the smallest tools can deliver exceptional performance. If you need a tiny, sharp, and reliable knife, the Opinel No. 3 is a perfect choice.
Review: Cool Little Blade - This is a tiny tool, to be sure. I have not purchased an Opinel smaller than No. 06 (a handy pocket carry with the locking system), but I wanted something on the smaller side. I got my wish with this one. Even when studying the dimensions, I didn’t envision it being as petite as it is. But I am not disappointed. I was looking for an addition to my light, small knives in the “Sunday carry” category. An unobtrusive knife for dress slacks attire. This is a cool, funky addition to my collection. For comparison, the knives pictured alongside it in the photos are: Old Timer Mighty Mite, Gerber Silver Knight, and an executive Wenger Delémont I picked up in Switzerland years ago. The Opinel is by far the lightest of the bunch because of the thin blade and beechwood handle. Feathers in the pocket. It’s not a utility knife, but a handy cutter for light duty jobs. Of course, I would like a locking mechanism, but that’s not an option on these small Opinels. And frankly, you don’t need a lock for small jobs. It’s a nice, functional little knife for a small investment. I consider it a good value. For those wondering, I did a 24-hour force patina on the carbon blade in an onion to resist corrosion. It will hold a good edge for a long time and sharpen easily. If you are interested in little and light knife for your collection, this is a winner. It feels right.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic
*by K***R on August 31, 2025*

It's a solid choice still. It's a good compromise in size and utility. A nice tool with a good history behind it. It's not as thick as other more modern knives but the light weight and ease of maintenance more than make up for it sharp out of the box and easy to keep sharp, a favorite of mine in any size.
