Pocket knife N°08 8,5 cm, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

A DIY project often begins with the claim that it will only take ten minutes, and ends with dinner eaten amidst tools and three trips to the hardware store. The N°09 CARBON is exactly the kind of helper that gets involved in such weekend adventures without asking any unnecessary questions.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°08 Inox folding knife is a versatile companion for DIY enthusiasts, everyday tasks, trips, and practical outdoor use.
• The 8.5 cm blade provides ample working surface for preparing food, cutting various materials, and other common tasks.
• Martensitic stainless steel of European origin with a hardness of 55-57 HRC offers high sharpness, mechanical resistance, and very good protection against corrosion.
• The blade's high resistance to wear helps maintain a quality cut even with regular contact with harder materials before needing resharpening.
• The classic Yatagan-style blade features a slightly raised tip and a convex profile, which enhances its strength and allows for efficient sharpening of the edge.
• The handle, made of varnished beech wood, fits comfortably in the hand and provides a secure grip during various work activities.
• The PEFC-certified beech wood comes from sustainably managed forests in the Jura and Vercors regions and excels in hardness and durability.
• The light beech wood can range from yellow to pinkish tones, and its natural grain is complemented by characteristic small darker lines.
• The varnished surface helps protect the wooden handle from moisture and dirt during regular daily use.
• The 10.9 cm handle provides plenty of space for a comfortable grip and controlled handling of the knife, even during more demanding tasks.
• The Virobloc safety ring allows the blade to be locked in the open position during work and in the closed position during transport and storage.
• 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 according to your current needs.
• Under normal conditions, the stainless steel blade requires no special maintenance and is a practical choice for a knife intended for frequent use.
• The N°09 model offers a larger working size than more compact variants and will serve well in the workshop, for minor DIY projects, and during outdoor stays.
• The knife is made in France and preserves the traditional Opinel construction with a beech handle, stainless steel blade, and patented Virobloc safety lock.
