Highly versatile, the Opinel Traditional Classic No.08 Pocket Knife features a Vanished Beech handle, 8.5cm Carbon Steel blade and is essential for small D.I.Y use or general camping & outdoors.

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shaped blade. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding. It offers an excellent cutting quality.

The vanished beech wood handle is comfortable in the hand. Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, Opinels beech wood is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.

The safety ring allows the user to work without any risks. Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc® Safety Ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).

Opinel carbon steel is extremely hard, thereby guaranteeing excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding. Carbon can corrode easily. It's advised to avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use.
