Premium Wood Handled Stainless Steel Folding Pocket Knife
The Opinel No.08 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife is the flagship model in the brand's folding knife collection. Featured in countless museums, books, and galleries worldwide, this compact knife is designed to deliver years of reliable use. Crafted with a 3 ¼ inch stainless steel blade and a varnished beechwood handle, the No.08 is well-suited for tasks in the garden, at the dinner table, or on your next adventure.
Opinel uses Sandvik(R) 12C27 Modified stainless steel, known for its excellent anti-corrosive properties that require minimal maintenance. The carbon content of at least 0.40% provides a superior cutting edge that is easy to keep sharp. The patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism safely secures the blade in both the open and closed positions, ensuring the user's safety. The simplicity of the knife's design and its sustainable wooden handle make it a lightweight and practical everyday carry.
The No.08 is the most widely distributed size in Opinel's growing line of folding knives, earning its reputation as an indispensable everyday companion. With a 3.25-inch blade, an overall open length of 7.59 inches, and a weight of just 45 grams, this knife is compact and efficient. To maintain its performance, Opinel recommends hand-washing and air-drying the wooden-handle knives, as the Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel blade is low-maintenance and resistant to rust.
Opinel's story began in 1890 when Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife, creating a tool that is as robust and functional as it is simple and beautiful. From his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic that has been carried by generations of artists, explorers, and farmers. Today, the Opinel family continues to manufacture their knives in the Savoie region of France, with a team of 150 employees producing over 5 million knives each year, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all while honoring Joseph Opinel's focus on quality and simplicity.
