The néo 7 Alpine Glacier Blue, fresh and bright, is the perfect companion for outdoor sporting activities. It is ideal for climbing, ski touring, mountaineering and ice climbing. Compact and lightweight, it features a sturdy 8 cm serrated blade with an integrated eyelet to make opening easier and reduce the knife’s weight. The tip of the blade, which protrudes when closed, acts as a mini scraper and allows the blade to be opened with one hand. Its polypropylene handle, reinforced with 30% fibreglass, features a cork section ensuring a secure grip and comfort. A whistle is fitted at the end of the handle. The knife features the Opiflex® blade retention mechanism, which revolutionizes the pocket knife experience. Thanks to this innovative system, the blade opens and closes without a lock, with a fluid and intuitive motion. There is a lanyard hole on the Opiflex® ring, and a slot for a standard screwdriver bit appears when the blade is closed.

- Martensitic stainless steel:
- Hardness: 55–57 HRC
- Origin: Europe
- Opinel stainless steel blade steel is an optimized grade designed to provide both high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical performance
- The blade offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion resistance (wear resistance), allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials such as ceramic before requiring resharpening
- Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under normal conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it may reach its limits when exposed to an aggressive environment for prolonged periods (acid, salt water, detergents, etc.)
