Opinel No8 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife - Alpine Adventures Collection - Hiking

Experience the excitement of Alpine adventures with this knife that is part of a collection honoring three outdoor sports, each with a unique connection to the mountains of France: biking, hiking, and skiing. The beechwood handle features a laser engraving, while the blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel.

This type of steel is known for its anti-corrosive properties, thanks to the addition of chrome, and it requires minimal maintenance. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, it offers an excellent cutting edge for all your outdoor needs.

The beechwood used for the handle is sourced from France, known for its durability and hardness. Its light color varies from yellow to pink and is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes, giving it a unique and visually appealing appearance.

One of the standout features of this knife is the Virobloc safety ring, which was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. This safety ring has two sections, one fixed and one sliding, allowing for the blade to be securely locked open or closed, providing added peace of mind during use and storage.

With its durable materials, thoughtful design, and connection to the spirit of Alpine adventures, this knife is a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable and stylish tool to accompany them on their mountain excursions. Bring the spirit of the French mountains with you wherever your adventures take you.
