Opinel No. 08 Limited Edition NATURE Series Folding Knife (González)

The No.08 Artist Limited Edition Set is a biannually released thematic limited edition collection, where Opinel has collaborated with three artists whose work showcases diverse aspects of nature through their unique origins and inspirations. Whether in their artistic practices and processes, or in the use of these elements in their compositions, Nature is the central focus.

Perrine Honoré's festive and colorful aesthetic builds a critical universe where madness and spontaneity prevail, much like in nature. Exploring a global and colorful visual style that sits somewhere between abstract and figurative, her design for the No.08 Artist Limited Edition IV Nature reveals a variety of natural elements. The lively, organic composition adds a playful element to the knife.

Honoring nature in his design, MioSHe created a silhouette for the No.08 Artist Limited Edition IV Nature knife that brings to mind "Vrikshasana", the yogic tree pose. Based loosely on Selene, goddess of the full moon, or perhaps Demeter goddess of agriculture and harvests, the strength of her posture transforms her into a fruit tree. The MioSHE No.08 folding knife features a matte black PVD blade and Virobloc.

With her design for the No.08 Artist Limited Edition IV Nature, Rommy González presents us with an inspired expression of nature, showcasing the complex forms of fungi. A combination of astonishing beauty and exquisite flavors that delight our senses, the colorful artwork invites us to open our perception and connect with nature.

Only 1,000 of each edition are available in the United States. Each knife features a numbered blade and comes in a custom designed gift box, made in France. The blade length is 3.28 inches, with a hornbeam wood handle.

In addition to the Artist Limited Edition, Opinel offers an array of other folding knives, including the Animalia Oak Engraved, Colorama, Slim Fillet Series, Mushroom Knife, My First Opinel No.7, and the No. 8 Garden Knife.
