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

Opinel No.07 Alpine knife
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

Opinel No8 Horizon
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

Opinel No9 Ocean
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.

You can tell when a trip has really changed someone.

Organisers of the first European Outdoor Week (EOW) have outlined plans to build on the success of the first event.

The Thule Keswick Mountain Festival returned to the Lake District over the weekend for what organisers believe was the biggest and most successful edition in the festival’s history.

Britain doesn't do mild. One hour you're walking in sunshine across the Brecon Beacons, the next you're soaked through in horizontal rain with your hands too cold to grip properly.
