The Opinel knife model number is NOT indicative of its blade length once you go below the No. 9. Yes, that works for Nos. 9 through 12. BUT the blade length of the No. 5 is 6 cm, the No. 6 is 7 cm, the No. 7 is 8 cm, and the No. 8 is 8.5 cm. -- all according the Opinel website. Convert cm to inches by multiplying by 0.4.

No. 12 Carbone - Carbon Steel Folding Pocket Knife, Beechwood Handle, 4.82 in Blade, Virobloc Safety Locking Collar, Made in France

No. 12 Carbone - Carbon Steel Folding Pocket Knife, Beechwood Handle, 4.82 in Blade, Virobloc Safety Locking Collar, Made in France

Q: How do you clean this? I accidentally washed with soap and water, now it has a stain on the blade. Is there anyway to help reverse this?

At least to an extent, Seller Laguiole Imports is correct. However, there is more. Actually, Mother Nature intended for Carbon Steel to rust seconds after exposure to water. I use my Opinel Knives every day and every day they get exposed to various amounts of water. 1.- If there are food residues, I use soapy water. Then, I proceed to dry the blades with highly absorbent paper napkins. However, I do not do any of this as if I suffer an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. 2.- Pleasurably, I deal with the inevitable rust that Mother Nature mandates by 'gently' rubbing the blades of my Opinel Knives with 3M Sanding Paper grit 600 or 800 before I give them a quick sharpening. If you guys were to see the blades of my Opinel Knives ~most likely~ you would admire the appeal created by shiny blades. Patina? What exactly is that? Whatever it is, it is not for those who elect to fill their eyes admiring shiny steel.

Q: what is the best sharpener for these knives

Any type, but the carbide sharpeners tend to wear down blade as on any knife. I highly recommend the basic Work Sharp field sharpener. This pocket size tool does the trick with any blade.
