Opinel No.6 Colorama - Stainless Steel Everyday Carry Folding Pocket Knife with Safety Ring

I bought the Opinel No. 6 Colorama stainless steel knife as a gift for my wife, and it couldn’t have been a better fit. She has smaller hands, and this size is just right—comfortable to hold, easy to control, and not too bulky. The knife is lightweight, sharp right out of the box, and the signature Opinel locking ring works smoothly and securely. The colorful handle adds a nice personal touch, making it feel both practical and stylish. What really sets this knife apart is its timeless design straight out of France. Opinel has been making knives for over a century, and it shows in the craftsmanship and simplicity. Every knife collector should own at least one Opinel—they’re iconic, affordable, and built to last.

Beat blade you can get for the price, and it’s light and functional. I have a no.8 carbone, but it’s too long for the rules when I have to go into the office for work, so I got this one for the shorter blade. It looks civilized, unlike some of my more “tactical” blades, so nobody looks at me funny when I’m cutting an apple in the office. After a few months of assorted uses that are appropriate for this size of blade, I’ve found that it holds up quite well. I’m not a huge fan of stainless blades, but I like this one. The vibrolock holds firmly, so I do not fear for my fingers, and the blade has decent piercing power from the shape of the tip.

Great knife for every day carry

Cool pocket knife, super sharp. Will probably buy another.

Use this daily to open all my Amazon packages. Hot pink - easy to find in drawer. "Securing "the blade makes it safe to use, you have to turn the silver top. Easy n safe. Great daily tool.

I wish all knives would have a blade like opinel makes: 1. Thin and very slicy, super slicy actually. 2. Convex grind, so food stuff does not stick to it 3. Good stainless choice 4. Tough blade, can take some beating 5. Decent edge retention 6. Easy to sharpen 7. Very light, including the handle So why I took one star off. Well, I can not find a good use case for it. For home use, the handle is not the most comfortable, so it does not inspire it's use at home. For EDC, the handle is a bit bulky, once again. For key ring cary, for no5 knife, possibly no6 also, there is no provision for key ring attachment, and again, the handle is a bit bulky. It is too bad. It is such a beautiful knife. I feel it would find it self used in a lot more situations if it could solve those issues, but keep the weight advantage. But that is not easy to do. I will grind the handle down my self, to make it more acceptable for key ring carry, and make my own attachment for the key ring. There is just no other knife with the low weight, length of blade, and cutting performance of the opinel. Victorinox, when they provide a multi tool, and you need all those tools, can be more useful. But if you only need the blade, opinel has a longer, much better blade, and is lighter. Just need to solve attachment and bulkyness issue. Example: opinel no5 has 2.4" blade and weighs 0.5oz. Victorinox Excelsior one blade has 2.3" blade, 0.8oz, it is longer then opinel no5 when clised, but is also thinner and has key ring attachment built in. Opinel no6, is as long as Victorinox Excelsior when closed, but has a 3.1" blade, and is only 1oz. So, yeah, opinel can be hard to beat in some ways, but it is not complete in other ways, as to make use of it's advantages.

This is an Opinel, so you know that it is a good, inexpensive knife. It's slightly smaller than the more common No. 7 or No.8 knives. But the smaller size fits better in a pocket of slacks or a suit than either of those two models. The blade size is probably more useful in an office situation than those larger knives. The locking collar does exactly what it's designed to do - lock the knife open or closed. It came sharp out of the box, but a couple of passes on a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker extra-fine rod made it hair-shaving sharp. The steel is a good, easy to sharpen stainless. it's not one of those "only sharpen once a decade" super steels. But then it doesn't cost $500, like those knives. The turquoise color handle gives it a dressier look than the standard plain beech wood handle. The smaller size and colored handle make it less "scary" than the all-black "tactical" knives so popular today. That can be an important factor in today's urban/office environment. I have a lot of pocket knives, most more expensive than this one. But it fits into my EDC rotation very nicely. If you're looking for a "survival" or "commando" knife that will enable you to hack your way out of the amazonian jungle or an enemy encampment, then this isn't the knife for you. If you want a knife with a great "fidget factor" that can be open or closed with a one-handed flip, then this isn't the knife for you. If you want a knife that will impress your friends with it's badassss look, then this isn't the knife for you. But if you want a good using knife that doesn't require you to take out a second mortgage to purchase it, then this knife may be what you're looking for.

These knives are wonderful to have around. This #6 is the perfect size for a small pocket or tool/tackle box. The little lanyard makes it ideal for carry in a bag. The color is great. Just an all around nice tool to have on hand. Also it is extremely sharp right out of the box.

Vrai Opinel, pratique
