Pocket knife N°08 8.5 cm, olive wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

Some practical things look so utilitarian that you would rather hide them away immediately after use. This Opinel has the opposite problem – its owner will be more inclined to leave it on display, even when there is absolutely nothing left to slice.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°08 folding knife from the Luxury range offers a more elegant take on the iconic model for everyday use, travel and outdoor activities.
• The 8.5 cm blade offers a versatile size for everyday cutting, snack preparation, picnics and small tasks during trips.
• Martensitic stainless steel of European origin with a hardness of 55-57 HRC provides high sharpness, mechanical resistance and good protection against corrosion.
• The blade's high resistance to wear helps maintain a quality cut over the long term, even with regular contact with harder materials during use.
• The handle, made of hard olive wood, catches the eye with its yellow to orange tones, dense, prominent grain and smooth surface that protects the varnish from moisture and dirt.
• The 10.9 cm handle provides plenty of space for a comfortable grip and confident handling of the knife during various practical activities.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked in the open position during work and in the closed position during carrying.
• The stainless steel Virobloc consists of a fixed and a sliding part, so you can secure the chosen blade position by simply turning the ring as needed.
• Under normal conditions, the stainless steel blade requires no special maintenance and offers a practical combination of sharpness, durability and easy care.
• During use, it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact of the blade with acids, salt water or aggressive cleaning agents.
• The classic N°08 size provides a balanced ratio between the compactness of a folding knife and a blade large enough for versatile practical use.
• A weight of 51 g keeps the knife pleasantly light, making it easy to pack into a pocket, backpack or standard travel gear.
• The design from the Luxury range gives this traditional pocket knife a more premium character, making it also suitable as a practical gift for any lover of high-quality knives.
• The knife is made in France and preserves the traditional Opinel construction with a stainless steel blade, wooden handle and patented safety lock.
