OP001321: N08 Folding Knife with Leather Lanyard, Stainless Steel

Opinel Knives

The No8 is the most sold and versatile size in the ever-growing line of Opinel folding knives. The 3.28" 12C27 stainless steel blade has a crowned hand hallmark etching. The beechwood handle includes a leather lanyard and has a safety ring to lock the blade.

12C27 Stainless Steel

12C27 modified stainless steel is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge.

Virobloc Safety Ring

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives sizes No6 through No12. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety while in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety on the go).

Beechwood

Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, their beech 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.

Yatagan Style Blade

The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. 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.
