Opinel NO8 Inox Black Folding Knife

Medium-sized, ultra-light folding knife featuring an 8.5 cm locking blade. A legendary piece from the renowned French brand with a heritage spanning over a century.

Special limited edition with a black anodized blade

The blade, crafted in a clip point style, is made from Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel. Boasting a flat-full grind nearly reaching a zero-grind, and paired with its slim profile, the blade delivers outstanding cutting performance.

A notch on the blade, reminiscent of Victorinox penknives, enables easy opening. Secure blade lock is ensured by the Viroblock system, patented in 1955, which uses a steel ring at the pivot point on the handle. Once opened, simply rotate the ring to block the slot and immobilize the blade. The same mechanism prevents accidental opening when folded—an ingeniously simple and highly effective safety feature.

Constructed from oak wood, the handle is ergonomically contoured for a comfortable, warm grip. Customization is effortless, such as drilling a hole at the rear for a lanyard or creating personalized textures, carvings, or finishes to match any preference.

An excellent companion for camping and wilderness expeditions, ideally suited for enthusiasts who appreciate tradition and natural materials.
