OP003236: N08 Limited Edition V Cosmos Folding Knife, Stainless Steel, Benjamin Jeanjean Illustrated Beechwood Handle

Opinel Knives

The Opinel N08 is the most popular and versatile size in the ever-growing line of Opinel folding knives. This knife is small enough to be used as a pocket knife, and its 3.28" blade is capable of most of your cutting needs. Stabilized beechwood is ultra-resistant and comfortably contoured to fit the hand. The blade is made from 12C27 stainless steel, which provides good resistance to wear from the elements, great edge retention, and ease of sharpening. This box set comes with a synthetic leather sheath.

This particular N08 features an illustrated handle by Benjamin Jeanjean, whose artwork transforms the knife into a symbolic exploration of the cosmos. At the center of his design, an ancient vase becomes a vessel for the universe, surrounded by a solar face marked with Yin and Yang to represent harmony and balance. Encircling lunar phases hint at the endless cycle of time, while geometric patterns form a cosmic web tying the entire composition together. From a distance, the imagery recalls a classical engraving; up close, modern symbols and details emerge, merging tradition with contemporary expression in a way that makes this Opinel as visually compelling as it is functional.
