Safety Ring
The Virobloc safety ring was invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel. It is featured on all folding knives from model No. 06 and up. The Virobloc is cut from stainless steel and consists of two parts: a fixed section and a sliding section. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (for safe use), it also allows the blade to be locked when closed (for secure transport).

Simple, functional, and clever – the Opinel knife is a timeless design icon that has gained worldwide recognition. In 2020, the brand celebrated its 130th anniversary. This longevity is thanks to the dedication of four generations of the Opinel family and many generations of workers and collaborators who preserved their ancestors’ know-how, respected the brand’s roots, and continued to grow it. 130 years – always sharp, always evolving, trusted and beloved.
