Opinel Woods No.8 Olive/Walnut/Oak (Any Choice)
Our most iconic size, the No.08, is the knife that started it all. Dating all the way back to 1890 when Joseph Opinel created a simple yet robust tool for the everyman, the No.08 has been featured in countless museums, books and galleries around the world. Whether you're looking to sharpen your pencils, or prune your roses, the No. 08 has been a favorite of explorers, artists, farmers, and chefs alike. The perfect size to keep in your pocket or your bag, you'll be glad to have this folding knife close at hand. This size features the Virobloc® safety ring.
Opinel’s stainless steel blades are incredibly durable, ensuring sharp and precise cutting, long-lasting wear resistance, and easy sharpening. This corrosion-resistant steel is perfect for outdoor use. Each blade features the iconic "Crowned Hand" logo, a symbol Joseph Opinel selected in 1909 to reflect the heritage and superior quality of Opinel knives.
Choose from Olive, Walnut, or Oak woods. While Beech is the standard wood for Opinel handles, these new exotic options bring unique charm and character to your Opinel knife. Enhance your collection with the rich appeal of Olive, Walnut, or Oak handles.
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives as of the No 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)
