Opinel Set: Folding Knife N°08 Carbon Steel Blade 8.5cm + Sheath

For camping, fishing, hunting, or cooking, the folding knife n°08 is Opinel’s most versatile knife. We are sure you would love it by itself, but inside a wooden presentation case and accompanied by a sheath, we know you would love it even more! This is why this special Opinel set is the ideal gift for passionate outdoorsmen!

The blade of this folding knife is made of carbon steel which is the traditional steel used in all Opinel knives. This high-carbon, non-alloy steel allows the blade to have a long-lasting cutting performance of great quality. However, be aware that although this steel offers an unparalleled hardness, its carbon content also exposes the blade to oxidation.

It is therefore recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher for example, and always wipe the blade down with a cloth after using the knife. You can also oil it from time to time to preserve its beauty and prolong its lifespan.

Now that we just told you how to preserve the beauty of this knife, let us talk to you about one feature that plays a big role in this knife’s beauty: the handle. It is made of natural beech wood that comes from sustainably managed French forests. Durable and resistant, it is protected by a layer of slightly orange varnish that gives it a lot of character.

Additionally, another important part of this knife is its ferrule: this modular steel ring will allow you to lock the blade in open or closed position. This allows you to be much more comfortable both during the use and transportation of this knife, because you will not have to worry about the risk of a rotating blade!

Let’s not also forget the sheath! The “Alpine” sheath makes this knife easy to carry thanks to the belt loop and incorporated carabiner. The snap button is magnetized making it easy and safe to close. You will then be able to hang your knife on your belt or on your keychain so that the knife is always there when you need it!

Finally, thanks to its small wooden box, you can easily store the knife and its sheath until you go again in your next outdoor adventure. It is also important to mention that the box makes an elegant package when gifting the knife to a loved one.

Since 1890, Opinel is the symbol par excellence of French rustic craftsmanship. This brand has la well-deserved reputation for creating knives of great quality. Practical and durable, Opinel knives are the indispensable companion for hikes, picnics, outdoor jobs, or meals at home.
