A cheerful red “My First Opinel” folding knife with round tip, stainless blade and safety ring lock.

We have used the Opinel My First – Red knife on trips and kitchen prep with youngsters. This is a folding pocket-knife, blade steel is Sandvik 12C27 stainless, blade length about 74 mm, overall open length about 175 mm, weight around 37 g. It features a rounded tip for safety and the Virobloc safety ring to lock the blade open or closed. It is ideal for kids learning knife use, or adults who want a safe, reliable little blade.

From our experience it is well suited for light slicing and whittling, though not for heavy cutting or prying.

Description
Additional information

I carried the Opinel My First – Red when showing safe knife handling to young scouts and also during picnics. The rounded tip gives me confidence that smaller hands won’t accidentally stab, yet the Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade still cuts cleanly through fruit, rope, or sandwich ingredients. The red varnished hornbeam or birch handle (depending on variant) is bright and easy to pick out of a pack; it feels smooth but with enough texture to grip securely unless hands are wet. The Virobloc ring lock is simple and durable: twist to lock open for use or closed for carry it reassures me in transport.

In damp or muddy conditions I dry and clean the blade and handle to avoid wood swelling or varnish damage; occasional oil on the pivot helps keep the opening smooth. It’s not made for chopping wood or breaking branches, but perfect for crafts, food prep outdoors, or teaching youngsters in controlled settings. If you want a safe, colourful first knife for a child (or yourself), this model is worth getting now while colours are available.
