Opinel is a French knife maker founded in Savoy in 1890, when Joseph Opinel created the pocket knife that would make the brand famous. Today Opinel is known for simple, durable and functional knives made in France and suited to a wide range of outdoor uses. For anglers, an Opinel can be useful for preparing bait, cutting line or soft material, carrying out small rigging jobs and handling everyday tasks during time by the water. On Hook’Up, the Opinel brand page gathers the available models so they can be compared by size, blade type, handle and intended use. When choosing an Opinel knife, consider portability, grip, blade material and the fishing or outdoor tasks you expect to perform.
