Opinel Explore 12 Green Tick Remover Travel Folding Knife 002489

This folding knife is a great tool for hunters, anglers and survival enthusiasts. It can be used on a camping trip, hike or expedition. However, its most useful feature is the ability to remove ticks.

The head of this knife is made of 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel and given a semi-matte effect. The blade is brought out with a flat full grind, which guarantees excellent cutting properties.

Opening the knife is extremely easy thanks to the notch on the blade, and the Virobloc lock ensures safety during use. It’s a steel ring located on the handle, which, after opening the knife, simply rotates a few degrees so that it covers the blade slot in the handle – this prevents the head from moving. The lock also prevents accidental opening when folded.

Its ergonomic handle is made of plastic that is resistant to shock, water and extreme temperatures. In addition, it has a soft rubber insert for a secure grip. The handle has also been equipped with a tick removal tool and a cutting hook. The extendable tick removal tool and steel rope cutting hook can be easily detached and cleaned. What’s more, the built-in 110 dB rescue whistle can be heard from up to 300 meters away.
