You should have asked earlier ;)
Seven Euros each, from Pierre Courty, in Paris.

If you want, I can write you an e-mail that you can send to him asking for price and delivery for the quantity you need.
A friend wanted something off hi a while ago, and it would have cost €19 in postage, for a single item. Not worth it (we found a different solution ;) ) but if you wanted, say ten or twelve, it might be acceptable...

It is a specific model No. 07, in French 'Couteau Opinel N°7 à bout rond' or 'round point' made for kids. They are around £5 here. I am not sure of any suppliers stocking these in the UK but Axminster may have them or could order them?

or pop over HERE (http://www.bushcraft-educational-society.co.uk/forum/index.php) and ask Gary, he prob get you one.

That would be really helpful cheers. In the meantime if anyone does hear of a UK outlet let me know.

It's an Opinel butter knife! Now that's one for the picnic basket.
Was wondering how common the Opinels with the tappered handle was in the UK? Handle similar to the filet knife but with regular blade. Opinel makes them for a Canadian company here, I own a few.

Yes the handle is like that but the blade is regular.
