    Wood whittling is fun, creative and gets kids immersed in nature. These premium quality folding whittling knives are made by trusted French knife brand Opinel and are the most common and widely trusted knives available.

    There are two options to suit different ages and ability levels, a round tip blade beginner knife, and a pointed tip blade advanced knife.

    Both knives have a safety ring to secure when in use and fold for safe storage, this makes them excellent for picnics and gardening as well.

    Beginner (Opinel No.7) Knife:
    - Stainless steel 8cm blade
    - Round tip blade for safety
    - Contoured beech handle for comfort

    Advanced (Opinel No.8) Oak Knife:
    - Stainless steel 8.5cm blade
    - Sharp pointed tip blade
    - Contoured oak handle for comfort

    Having the right tools makes whittling enjoyable and safe. Whittling projects can be found in each book in the Nature Craft Series.

    *PLEASE NOTE*
    Packaging may vary to what is shown, however the products are the same. Our usual plastic free packaging is not always available due to supply chain issues.

    Keeping the knife sharp is important for safety. A blunt knife requires more force to get through the wood, which can result in accidents. Carefully clean your knife after use with olive oil on a rag to remove resins and residue.

    As a mum I love whittling for myself as a mindful, relaxing activity.

    My little ones are now learning how to whittle. They are always on the hunt for sticks when we are out in nature. It's the perfect budget- friendly activity that encourages patience, focus and creativity.

    My husband was surprised we were able to get an Opinel knife from Your Wild Books. He's had one for years and thought you could only get it in France, like he did :).

    We love all the tools and art and craft supplies that Your Wild Books stocks conveniently in the one place.

    My son loves having a penknife of his very own. I brought this for him for his birthday…he’s been using his dads for years and so excited to have his own.
    He’s been out in our back paddock all afternoon finding just the right sticks to create new things with.

    This was a perfect present for my 6 year old. She absolutely loves it! She takes it to forest school and uses it to help build shelter and spears. This was her first whittling knife and she finds it so easy to use.

    Safe , great quality and lovely colour ! Bought for my niece as a birthday gift to go with one of your books on nature craft . Got the gloves also ! She does a lot of camping with her family in Ningaloo and Dwellingup etc so thought it would be great. Got the older brother the knots book and things to make with a pen knife . Both a big hit . Parents liked that it didn’t involve technology.

    We got these for my twin nephews as 10th birthday gifts and they have had a blast whittling and making things with them. The handle folds flat so they are safer to carry in pockets and lock when not in use. Really fun for camping trips as well as backyard playing.

    I bought one of each kind of these knives, and have used the round-tip one with my 5yo. I supervise him closely and we use the rubber gloves as shown in the Wild Child book. Both knifes are beautiful quality, a simple but effective design and look like they will last a long time. They are super sharp!! Very satisfying to work with.
