{"product_id":"opinel-ndeg09-diy","title":"Opinel N°09 DIY Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOpinel N°09 DIY Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a focused tool-knife for a work bag, vehicle or office drawer. It keeps a proper 8 cm cutting blade at the centre of the design, then adds a wire cutter, wire stripper and two screwdriver bits without turning the handle into a crowded multitool. The result is practical for small repairs and routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003e8 cm martensitic stainless-steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e is specified at 55–57 HRC. Opinel integrates a cutter for cable up to 5 mm in diameter and a stripper for conductors up to 1.8 mm. These are useful mechanical features, but the knife is not insulated: disconnect and verify electrical circuits before work, and use rated electrical tools where protection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efibreglass-reinforced polyamide handle\u003c\/strong\u003e resists shocks and humidity better than a traditional wooden handle. Two standard bits store in the rear: a flat bit for 4 mm screws and a crosshead bit for screws from 3.5 to 5 mm. A magnetic holder keeps the selected bit in place during controlled, light-duty screwdriving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eVirobloc safety ring\u003c\/strong\u003e locks the blade in the open position for work and in the closed position for transport. Rotate it deliberately before applying pressure. The 11.82 cm handle provides enough purchase for cutting tasks, but use a dedicated driver when a fastener is tight enough to demand high torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model makes sense for someone who regularly opens packaging, trims cord, strips small conductors or tightens common screws and wants one compact tool nearby. It is less suitable for food preparation than the classic N°08 and less weather-focused than the Outdoor models; its strength is specific repair functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the \u003cstrong\u003eblade and wire-work areas\u003c\/strong\u003e after use and dry them completely. Avoid prolonged exposure to salt water, acids and detergents. Keep the bit recess clear of grit, inspect the magnetic holder and sharpen the plain cutting edge with a consistent angle. Never place the knife in a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/opinel\"\u003eOpinel collection\u003c\/a\u003e to compare this repair-oriented design with classic and outdoor models.

Inspect the blade, joint and retention system before each outing, and stop using the knife if anything is loose, damaged or obstructed. Open and close it deliberately with dry hands, work away from the body and keep bystanders outside the cutting path. When lending it, explain the locking or retention mechanism rather than assuming it is familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opinel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58133606924670,"sku":"51OP1792-9 200","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5322\/7390\/files\/Opinel-N_-09-DIY-Grey-1.jpg?v=1790847446","url":"https:\/\/www.behindthepines.eu\/products\/opinel-ndeg09-diy","provider":"Behind The Pines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
