Opinel Tradition N°8 folding knife, stainless steel blade & beech wood handle

For outdoor activities, no knives are better than the Opinel knives.  They are known worldwide for being knives of superior quality and superb design that are the representation of the traditional French know-how in the cutlery industry combined with modern designs.

Probably the most iconic and most famous of all Opinel knives is the Opinel N°8 Traditional Folding knife, which is tool useful for almost any outdoor activity such as hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, etc. However, despite of being considered a knife for outdoor activities, this knife can also be useful inside your kitchen!

The blade of this Opinel knife is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which is a type of steel known for its great strength and impressive solidity thanks to its high carbon content. It has a Yatagan-looking shape thanks to its curved back and its raised tip.

Despite being a relatively small knife, the cutting performance of this knife is quite extraordinary! It has a truly high level of sharpness that lets you cut with great ease and extreme precision.

With a length of 8.5 centimeters, the blade can be folded and stored inside the handle which is made of beech wood and has a length of 11 centimeters. To increase safety and avoid unwanted movements of the blade, this knife has a rotating ferrule that can be turned in order to “block” the entrance to the handle to make sure the blade stays in its place.

To guarantee long durability of your knife, the handle has been varnished to protect it from stains and humidity. The beech wood undeniably provides a beautiful, rustic look to the knife !
