I have carried the Opinel Trekking Green on many treks and during meal prep outdoors. The 85 mm stainless blade holds up well even after exposure to moisture; you need only clean and dry it to keep performance high. The beech wood handle painted green feels comfortable in hand and gives decent grip, though it can become slippery when wetgood to keep dry or hold by the spine. The Virobloc ring lock is simple but effective: twist-to-lock open or closed keeps the blade stable during use and safe during carry. At 190 mm overall when open, it gives enough leverage for tasks like cutting kindling, preparing food, or carving. The weight of 46 g keeps it light enough not to be a burden on long walks.
For me, one of its best moments was slicing fresh bread by a lake while backpacking; blade felt precise and solid. If you want a reliable companion knife with character and function, this is one to add to your gear soon.
