Just $20 at Cutter's Bench against a $40 compare-at price – a 50% discount.
At What Age Can a Child Use the Opinel No.07?
Most children are ready around 7 years and up, depending on maturity and hand size. Always supervise: start with safety rules, teach opening and closing with the Virobloc ring, and practice cutting soft wood before whittling.
Is an Opinel No.07 Safe for a 6 Year Old?
With close adult supervision, yes. The Virobloc ring locks the blade open during use and closed for carry, which addresses the two biggest safety risks. A 6-year-old with good focus and dexterity can begin with simple, supervised tasks.
How Do I Teach My Child to Whittle With the No.07?
Start with a soft stick, teach cutting away from the body, thumb bracing behind the blade, and small shaving strokes. Keep sessions short, model each cut, and use the sheath whenever the knife is stored or carried.
