Opinel – OP01840RDGY – No 8 – Folding Knife – 12C27 Satin Drop Point – Wood – Red

Description

Timeless, reliable, and unmistakably French – the Opinel No. 08 Folding Knife (Model OP01840RDGY) remains the most iconic size in the Opinel lineup. Originally designed in 1890 by Joseph Opinel as a durable everyday cutting tool, the No. 08 has since earned its place in museums and design collections around the world. This modern rendition, part of the vibrant Colorama series, features a tinted and varnished hornbeam wood handle in a refined red finish and is fitted with a convenient synthetic lanyard for effortless portability. The 3.28-inch blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, prized for its high resistance to corrosion and easy sharpening. A modest carbon content of at least 0.40% ensures a long-lasting edge suitable for general utility tasks, from whittling wood and food prep to opening packages or harvesting herbs in the garden. A standout feature of the Opinel No. 08 is its signature Virobloc® safety ring. Invented in 1955, this rotating collar mechanism allows you to lock the blade in either the open or closed position for enhanced safety and reliability during use or transport. Lightweight and compact at just 1.6 ounces, the No. 08 is ideal for everyday carry and outdoor adventures alike. Whether you’re an artist, gardener, hiker, or collector, this elegant yet practical tool fits seamlessly into any lifestyle.
