The icon among pocket knives

The Opinel pocket knife No. 08 is a timeless classic that has delighted its users for over 130 years. It is the best-selling knife in the Opinel collection and impresses with its versatility and its simple but clever design.

This knife consists of five perfectly coordinated components: an 8.5 cm long, tapered blade made of stainless steel, an ergonomic handle made of varnished beech wood, a sturdy rivet, a fixed ring and the patented "Virobloc" safety ring, which was introduced in 1955. The latter offers additional security as it reliably fixes the blade both when open and when closed.

With a comfortable handle and a total weight of just 45 g, the Opinel No. 08 is the epitome of efficiency and comfort. Whether for outdoor adventures, manual work or everyday tasks.

NO. 08 STAINLESS STEEL von Opinel x Iconic Tools

The cult knife: The success story of the Opinel No. 08

In 1890, at the age of 18, Joseph Opinel worked in the workshop of his father, a blacksmith and cutlery manufacturer, in Albiez-le-Vieux in Savoy. There he designed a handy pocket knife for the farmers and villagers in the area. Thanks to its great success, Joseph expanded the collection to twelve different sizes in 1897. The Opinel No. 08 is particularly popular, with its ergonomic size, 8.5 cm long blade and varnished wooden handle making it universally usable - whether for eating, DIY or in the garden.

Maximum safety during use

The Virobloc safety ring of the Opinel No. 08 was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955 and offers maximum safety during use. It is made of stainless steel and consists of a fixed and a movable part. The ring allows the blade to be securely locked not only when open, but also when closed. This guarantees safe transport. This well thought-out mechanism makes the Opinel No. 08 a perfect companion in everyday life or when on the go.

Which steel is used for the pocket knife?

The stainless steel of the blade of the Opinel No. 08 has a hardness of 55-57 HRC and comes from Europe. It impresses with its excellent sharpness and abrasion resistance. This type of steel offers high corrosion resistance and impressive mechanical performance. The steel also withstands contact with hard materials such as ceramics and only requires infrequent resharpening. It is also easy to care for and does not require any special maintenance under normal conditions, making the pocket knife ideal for everyday use.

What can I use the knife for?

The Opinel No. 08 is a versatile pocket knife that can be used in a wide range of ways. It is the perfect companion for outdoor activities such as camping and hiking, where it can help with cutting food or sharpening branches. It is also ideal for eating and cooking on the go. The knife also does a great job with DIY, crafts and carving. But it is also an excellent all-purpose tool for everyday use.
