One of the most frequenent questions we get asked about Opinel pocket knives when we are at a show is "are they legal to carry?"

Until the launch of these new Neo6's the answer was always no, because of the lock ring. (I don't count the small Opinels as being a useful size ....)

The Neo6 range introduces Opiflex - which means that these knives have no mechanical locking mechanism.  With the blades are 7cm long and non locking, they are legal to carry in the United Kingdom.

Opiflex does "click" the blade in place in the open position but doens't lock the blade - so you do have to be more cautious with the knife in use.

The blade is stainless steel and features a slightly rounded tip, which I like on a general purpose knife that I'd use for example cutting fruit or opening parcels.

The handle options are all wood and they've decided to offer the Neo6 in Olive, Walnut or Ebony.  All have a leather lanyard loop.

The knife is supplied in a cardboard box.
