Opinel has launched its new Sport Line – a collection of three outdoor knives designed for use on mountains, trails, campsites and the sea. Developed for intensive outdoor activity, the Sport Line combines tough materials with practical, environment-specific features, with a focus on reliability, safety and ease of use.

Néo.07 Alpine – lightweight mountain tool - £30

Developed in collaboration with the National School of Skiing and Mountaineering (ENSA) in Chamonix, the Néo.7 Alpine is designed for climbing and mountaineering use. It is a non-locking knife to allow one-handed operation when required.

Weighing 41g, the Néo.07 Alpine features an 8cm serrated stainless steel blade, an Opiflex® ring for secure handling and a cork grip zone. Additional features include a screwdriver bit slot, lanyard hole and 100 dB whistle. It’s available in Glacier Blue, Linden and Dark Brown.

No.08 Horizon – multi-use outdoor knife - £27

The No.08 Horizon is designed for general outdoor use, including hiking, camping, biking and canoeing. It features an 8cm stainless steel blade and the Virobloc® double safety ring for secure operation.

The handle is made from polyamide reinforced with 30% glass fibre for added durability. Additional features include a 110 dB whistle and lanyard hole. The knife weighs 63g and is available in Orange and Khaki with a Mustard option available from June.

No.09 Ocean – sailing and marine use - £47

The No.09 Ocean is designed specifically for nautical environments. It includes a 9cm partially serrated stainless steel blade for cutting rope, along with a shackle key and marlinespike to support onboard tasks.

An anti-corrosion PVD coating protects the blade in saltwater conditions, while the Virobloc® safety system ensures secure handling. The glass fibre-reinforced handle provides grip in wet conditions. The knife weighs 80g and is available in Blue, Red and Yellow.

The Opinel Sport Line is available now from www.berryuseful.co.uk.
