Opinel Knife – No. 8 Carbon

Description

The iconic Opinel Knife – N°08 pocket knife is available with a carbon steel blade for excellent cutting.  The N°08 is the most popular knife in the collection of Opinel Knives. This multi-purpose tool is a real must-have to carry with you day-to-day.

Carbon Steel

Opinel Knife – No. 8 carbon steel is extremely hard, thereby guaranteeing excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding. Carbon can corrode easily. We advise you to avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use.

Handle

Beech is the most commonly wood for the manufacturing of Opinel handles. From France, our beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. In its character is the presence of numerous small dark dashes.

Yatagan Blade

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape comes from a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.

Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
