Opinel No.03 Carbone Carbon Steel Folding Pocket Knife is Opinel's second-smallest model, made in Savoie, France since 1890. It's best for light everyday tasks — opening letters, boxes, and packages — and it costs just $10.00, down from $16.00. Buy online now and use coupon BENCH10 for an extra 10% off.
The No.03 excels as a letter opener, box opener, and small precision cutter. It's also popular as a keychain-sized EDC knife thanks to its tiny folded footprint. This is a very small knife — review the size before buying.
Because it's non-locking, keep fingers clear of the blade path and store it folded. The absence of a lock is what keeps it this small and light — that's the trade-off buyers choose it for.
Compared to the No.08, the No.03 is smaller, lighter, cheaper, and lock-free. Choose the No.08 for heavier cutting and the Virobloc lock; choose the No.03 for pocket-slim, micro-task cutting. Carbon steel demands more care than stainless — wipe and grease after use and avoid damp storage.
$10.00 – 38% off the $16.00 compare-at price. Extra savings with coupon BENCH10 (10% off). Free shipping on orders over $45.00; standard shipping $8.00.

Made in Savoie, France since 1890. The No.03 is the tiny, affordable entry into the iconic Opinel line.
Carbon steel takes a sharper, harder edge and regrinds easily, but needs wiping and greasing after use. Prefer low maintenance? Consider the stainless No.08.
At $10.00 — 38% off $16.00 — plus coupon BENCH10 for 10% more savings, it's the cheapest way to own a genuine Opinel.
Light tasks: opening letters, boxes, and small packages, plus fine everyday cutting. It's also a popular tiny keychain knife.
It has no Virobloc lock — models No.02 to No.05 are non-locking. Keep fingers clear of the blade path and store it folded.
It's a very small blade — the No.03 is Opinel's second-smallest model, small enough to fit in any pocket. Check dimensions before ordering.
$10.00, down from $16.00 — a 38% discount. Coupon BENCH10 adds another 10% off at checkout.

Barely notice it in the pocket, and it opens packages and envelopes like a dream. Carbon steel takes a wicked edge.
Does small tasks well. Remember to dry it after use — it's carbon steel and will patina.
There's a reason this design is over a century old. Simple, light, sharp, and honest. I keep one in every jacket.
Very light and sharp, but the non-locking blade closes on my fingers twice when I was careless. Fine for envelopes, less so for anything forceful.
Bought this for my son as his first pocket knife. The non-locking blade is actually easier for him to open safely, and the low price means I don't worry about it. He's proud to carry it and takes care of the blade.
Incredible value. Slice apples, open boxes, trim twine — it handles it all. The patina developing on the carbon blade is honestly part of the charm. Treated well, this will outlive me.
Smaller than I imagined — my mistake for not checking the size. Still, quality is excellent and it's perfect for EDC light duty.
The beechwood handle has a lovely warm feel and the blade came shaving sharp. For letter opening and small tasks it's unbeatable.
Left it in a damp pocket one day and it spotted. Carbon steel needs constant care. Wish I'd gotten stainless.
I use mine daily for opening packages, cutting twine in the garden, and peeling fruit on lunch breaks. It's so light I forget it's there until I need it. Sharpened it once in six months and it still bites into cardboard easily.
Bought two — one for me, one for my wife. Simple, elegant, and functional. Classic Opinel quality at a silly-low price.
Can't complain for the money. Blade is thin but sharp, and the lock ring keeps it closed in the pocket. Would have liked a lanyard hole.
