Opinel No.08 Stainless Steel Folding Knife with Beechwood Handle

THE NO.08 STAINLESS STEEL POCKET KNIFE: THE FLAGSHIP OF OPINEL'S COLLECTION

The No.08 stainless steel pocket knife, the flagship size of Opinel's collection, has been featured in countless museums, books, and galleries around the world. Compact and fitting well in any hand, the 3 ¼ inch stainless steel blade and varnished beech wood handle will stand up to years of use.

The blade has been designed and perfected over generations to maximize cutting quality and ensure easy sharpening after years of hard work. Versatile, it can be used in the garden, at the dinner table, or on your next adventure. Keep it in your pocket, purse, or toolbox, and you'll love it for years to come.

QUALITY AND AFFORDABILITY

Opinel uses Sandvik(R) 12C27 Modified stainless steel, renowned for its anti-corrosive properties and minimal upkeep. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge that's easy to keep sharp.

The patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism keeps the knife safely closed in your pocket and locks the blade open during use. The simplicity of the knife's design and its sustainable wooden handle make it lightweight too!

THE PERFECT EVERYDAY CARRY

Composed of 5 elements (blade, wooden handle, fixed ferrule, rivet, and rotating VIROBLOC locking ring), the Opinel folding knife is both smart and simple. The No.08 is the most widely distributed size in the ever-growing line, earning its reputation as an everyday carry staple.

With a 3.25-inch blade, 7.59-inch open length, and a weight of 45 grams, the No.08 is an efficient and versatile tool.

CARE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP

Opinel suggests carefully hand-washing wooden-handle knives and letting them air dry, as the heat and moisture of a dishwasher can cause the wood to swell, making the knife hard to open.

The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel used for the blades is low maintenance, highly resistant to rust, and can be polished or cared for with simple organic oils.

Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family has been making their knives in the Savoie region of France for over 130 years. Each year, their team of 150 employees manufactures over 5 million knives, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all to honor Joseph Opinel's focus on quality and simplicity.
