Donors contributing a gift of $500 or more have the option to select this limited edition knife as a thank you gift. The iconic Opinel knife was created by a French farmer in 1880 and quickly spread across the world ending up in the hands of millions of other farmers. Comprised of sustainably sourced birch wood and made in France, the Opinel #7 knife is a perfect fit for Tillers International. A beautiful yet pragmatic tool that makes an understated statement of being in-the-know. At only 1.3 ounces, the Opinel #7 all but disappears into your pocket or purse until you need the tool. Equally at home in a pair of jeans or a business formal jacket, the Opinel #7 is one of the world’s most gorgeous and useful knives.

Obviously, whoever donates $500 or more to Tillers International is not leaving us such a generous gift for only the Opinel #7. Whoever donates that amount understands what Tillers International is doing domestically, but more likely, fully understands the value of what we’re doing internationally.

The Tillers International Opinel #7 comes from humble roots in a farm in France but quietly speaks to an understanding of international connections that escapes many people.

Pulling out the Tillers International Opinel #7 is a quiet way to let others know that you understand the bigger picture and have an empathic and strategic understanding of why it’s critical to help small-scale farmers everywhere around the world.
