Opinel Colorama Series No. 8 - Stainless Steel Folding Knife with Leather Strap

The Opinel No.08 Colorama Stainless Steel Pocket Knife is a flagship item in Opinel’s pocket knife collection, featuring a compact design that fits well in any sized hand. With a 3 ¼ inch stainless steel blade and a varnished beech wood handle, this knife is built to withstand years of use and boasts a cutting quality that has been perfected over generations. The knife is versatile and can be used in the garden, at the dinner table, or on outdoor adventures. It is designed for everyday carry and comes with the patented VIROBLOC locking mechanism for safety.

Opinel’s use of Sandvik(R) 12C27 Modified stainless steel ensures that the blade has anti-corrosive properties and provides an excellent cutting edge that is easy to maintain. The VIROBLOC locking ring, added in 1955, ensures safety and simplicity, making the knife lightweight and easy to use. The No.08 is the most widely distributed size in the Opinel folding knives collection and is considered an essential for everyday carry.

When it comes to caring for the knife, Opinel advises against washing the wooden-handle knives in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell. Instead, the knives should be hand-washed and air-dried, while the stainless steel blade can be easily cleaned with warm water and dishwashing liquid.
