Opinel No.12 Outdoor Explore Folding Knife with Tick Remover is Opinel's flagship outdoor folder, now $28.90 — a full 50% off the $57.80 compare-at price. If you're wondering how to use the tick remover on the Opinel No.12 Explore, the notch tool at the blade's base hooks under a tick close to the skin; lever upward slowly to remove the whole tick. Best-fit shoppers: hikers, bushcrafters, hunters, and emergency-prep carriers who want one knife that handles cutting, signaling, fire-starting, and first aid.
Key Survival Features
Tick Remover
A dedicated notch built into the blade for safe, whole-tick removal on trail — no separate tool needed.
110 dB Emergency Whistle
The removable whistle at the handle heel signals for help at 110 decibels — audible at distance, essential for solo hikes and emergency kits.
Fire Starter (Removable)
The removable fire steel strikes sparks to ignite tinder in wet or cold conditions.
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Handle
The multi-material, fiber-reinforced handle withstands extreme temperatures, knocks, and water exposure — far tougher than a beechwood handle.
No.12 Explore vs Classic No.12
- No.12 Explore: polymer survival handle, whistle, tick remover, fire starter, 4-inch stainless blade with Virobloc lock.
- Classic No.12: beechwood handle, blade only, lighter carry.
Choose the Explore for bushcraft and emergency carry; choose the classic for traditional everyday use.
