Opinel Effile Slimline Series Folding Fillet Knife

Authentic French-made knife, top-notch quality! Extremely sharp and perfectly sized for travel, making it ideal as a steak knife. Definitely an essential to take on every trip!

Now that Opinel knives lock in the closed position I can recommend them. The fillet knife is both beautiful and very functional,sharpens to a razor edge with minimal effort.

Love it so for!

Excellent high quality knife. Affordable price

It's very light and folds up small. The blade is very sharp and lasts a long time.

Great product.

Opinel makes the best knives for the money you can get. I have 5 total in several sizes. They are easy to get razor sharp, stay sharp, and are relatively cheap for what you get. This is a great fillet knife.

Serious bang for the buck, and do not hesitate to recommend. This filet series version are well worth the price and are a great addition to your slicing knifes. My RV has negligible storage space for fixed blade knifes so these inexpensive Opinel's solve a big issue as they fold to protect the blades out of use and stuffed in a drawer. I also frequently carry one as a supplemental slicing tool when out and about. The construction of these are made with simplicity AND are a great example of loose tolerances yet eloquent execution of function. (More AK vs AR) In this case though I would pocket carry the conventional blade version and not the filet slim version due to the point can rise out of the pocket even when locked down with the ring lock in place (Sizes 6 and above, 5-2 have no lock and would be poor choice for pocket carry since you cannot secure the blade). To be fair this is very unlikely just in my experience if it can go wrong.... That said, I have yet to find an Opinel that disappoints and this one is very desirable An addendum: Added a picture of another acquisition in the effile series... From bottom up : classic No8 - effile No8 - effile No10 - effile No12 - effile No15 One thing I did not note in the description, the blade finish on the premium woods goes to a bright smooth finish (fingerprints are highlighted) The new #12 using standard Beech reverts to the brushed finish of the classic. Very pronounced IRL when lain alongside each other (Price isn't just the wood). For trimming fish fillets and removing the silver layer on tri tip and ribs my choice would be No12 (the handle and length are the sweet spot for cutting board use). The Beech with brushed finish is fine however premium wood with the smooth finish will help the "glide" in fish I suspect. All of the four effile samples have the optimum edge consistency of my many recent Opinel purchases. What I suspect is the factory line veterans are producing these more delicate blades, the basic ones have been all provided with cutting edges some have needed a bit of stropping with prominent uneven burs. Not intended as a criticism, in use these are user maintained. If you have no intention on learning simple edge maintenance (inexpensive diamond stone & leather strop, a few min on vids and Joe's your dad) serrated saw edges are a better choice no shame at all.

Tolles Design, hochwertige Verarbeitung! Das Messer liegt gut in der Hand, die Klinge ist sehr scharf und es sieht sehr gut aus!

Fantástica navaja

Sehr scharf, formschön, preiswert und daher empfehlenswert!

C’est un modèle 12 et c’est un peu grand pour la poche, le nr. 10 serait préférable. Sinon rien à dire question qualité.

Très beau couteau, super lame, à offrir aux amateurs d'opinel!!!
