The Opinel N°8 knife is the most popular of all Opinel knives. Specially designed for outdoor and everyday use, it features a varnished oak handle and a black stainless steel blade.
Description
The Opinel No. 8 knife has been in production for 130 years, and has been the Savoyard brand's benchmark knife for 130 years. Recognizable thanks to its magnificent design, the iconic knife is marketed in a black version.
Its oak handle is insect and fungus resistant, thanks to its high tannin content. The wood comes from French farms and is then varnished to protect it from humidity and dirt. The 8.5 cm-long matt black blade is made of black stainless steel. More resistant than a conventional stainless steel blade, it remains more sensitive to the risk of scratches. It is therefore recommended not to use abrasive products to clean it, such as a sponge.
Easy to maintain and very sharp, this Opinel knife is very useful for your bivouacs, hikes and outdoor activities.
The Opinel N°8 Black knife is :
- A benchmark knife for mountaineering, camping or hiking
- Lightweight and easy to carry
- A blade that can be sharpened with a whetstone
