Opinel Carbon No. 8 Folding Pocket Knife with Sheath, Wooden Slide Gift Box

The Carbon folding pocket knife, a must-have tool for everyday use, boasts a simple, sturdy, and easy-to-use design. Crafted with a beechwood handle, a carbon steel blade, and accompanied by a faux leather sheath, this knife is shipped in a gift box, making it the perfect choice for any occasion.

The Number 8, the most sold and versatile size in the ever-growing line of Opinel folding pocket knives, has earned its reputation as an everyday carry staple. With a 3.35-inch blade (8.5cm) and an open length of 7.5 inches (19.5cm), this pocket knife offers exceptional cutting quality, good wear resistance, and easy sharpening.

The carbon steel blade, renowned for its exceptional hardness, provides excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance, and easy regrinding. However, it is important to maintain the knife by avoiding damp locations and wiping and greasing the blade after use, as carbon steel can corrode easily.

The ergonomic shape of the traditional wooden handle, made from beechwood (locally called "fayard"), has remained unchanged since its design in 1890. The fine and homogenous grain of the beechwood provides excellent mechanical strength, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip.

A hallmark of Opinel's everyday carry knives since its invention in 1955, the Virobloc ring offers a unique, thoughtful, and easy-to-use safety mechanism for locking the blade during use, during transport, and during storage. This feature ensures the user's safety and the knife's reliability.

Produced in the heart of the French Alps since 1890, Opinel pocket knives draw simplicity and durability from their mountain roots. The Opinel folding knife has been adopted worldwide and is recognized as a design icon, a testament to its timeless appeal and practical functionality.
