Opinel N Degree8 Boxed Garden Knife, 8.5 cm Blade, Metallic

Opinel's No. 8 Garden Knife is designed to excel at weeding, picking fruits and vegetables, and light pruning and cutting tasks in the garden. Its pointed and robust 8.25cm stainless steel blade is indispensable for gardening work, while the beechwood handle is shaped for maximum comfort in the hand.

This folding knife features Opinel's renowned Virobloc safety ring, invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. The Virobloc, made of stainless steel, has a fixed and a sliding section, allowing the user to lock the blade both open (for safe use) and closed (for safe transport).

The 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blade is anti-corrosive and requires minimal maintenance, while its carbon content of at least 0.40% ensures an excellent cutting edge. The classic Opinel blade has been given a Yatagan shape, inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, with a convex grind that enhances the blade's strength and ease of re-sharpening.

Opinel knives are designed and manufactured in France. The beechwood used for the handles is sourced from France and is known for its hardness, durability, and ease of working. The wood's light color varies from yellow to pink, with a homogeneous appearance and small, dark dashes.

In addition to the No. 8 Garden Knife, Opinel offers a range of other folding knives for gardening and outdoor tasks, including the No. 8 Pruning Knife, No. 10 Pruning Knife, Mushroom Knife, No. 12 Folding Saw, and No. 18 Folding Saw. Each model is built to exacting standards and features the Virobloc safety ring.

Opinel products are guaranteed against manufacturing defects under normal use and will be replaced if any issues arise. With their timeless design, high-quality materials, and innovative safety features, Opinel folding knives have earned a reputation as indispensable tools for gardeners, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates well-crafted, functional gear.
