Opinel folding kids’ knife with Sandvik stainless steel and safe Virobloc lock for young adventurers.
We believe a child’s first knife should combine safety, simplicity, and quality craftsmanship. The Opinel My First – Blue is a folding knife for children aged 7 and up with a blade made of Sandvik stainless steel, rounded for safety, and a handle of painted beech wood.
It gives young users real knife-feel without sharp ends or complex mechanisms. Great for camping trips, backyard projects, or introducing responsible tool use keep close supervision. I’ve seen kids using it responsibly for carving sticks and helping in camp kitchens without accidents.

Description
I have carried and tested many children’s knives over decades in the outdoors. The Opinel My First – Blue stands out because it balances safety with genuine utility. The rounded tip blade of Sandvik stainless steel is sharp enough for light tasks but much less likely to accidentally poke or pierce. The Virobloc locking ring adds a layer of safety by locking the blade open or closed securely. The beech wood handle is comfortable and has a natural grip though the painted finish means it needs gentle handling and occasional oiling to preserve its look.
At blade length 74 mm, total length 175 mm, and weight 37 g, it is light enough for a child to carry without fatigue. I like taking it for nature walks and teaching youngsters how to whittle; the rounded tip gives confidence while the lock gives security so I feel safe letting them try.
Given its build, this knife is not for heavy chopping or batoning. It is best used under adult supervision, for whittling, simple cutting, peeling bark, or opening packaging. Clean and dry after use; occasionally oil hinge; avoid letting water sit on the wood.
If you want a safe first knife that still performs and teaches responsibility, this is a solid pick. Order now so the next trip you take it along and see how proud the young one feels using their own tool.
