Opinel No8 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife with Premium Wood Handles

The Opinel folding knife, born in the Savoie region of France in 1890, has become a universal object due to its popularity and wide use across the world. It is widely recognized as one of the best knives in the world and is a genuine trigger of memories. In addition to the original folding knife, Opinel has designed other ranges of knives and tools with the same attention to simplicity and reliability for all those who appreciate effective cutting.

This simple, robust, and faithful tool has been carried by some of the greatest artists, adventurers, navigators, and mountaineers, including Pablo Picasso, Roger Frison Roche, Alain Colas, Eric Tabarly, Jean-Louis Etienne, Ellen Mac Arthur, and Paul Bocuse, among many others. Opinel has become a constant landmark, cited in countless books and songs, and has risen to the status of a timeless cult object and an unavoidable symbol of French culture.

Since 1890, Opinel knives have been manufactured alongside the French Alps, maintaining a tradition of quality and craftsmanship. The flagship size of the collection, the No8, is the most sold and versatile size in the ever-growing line of Opinel knives. Continuous quality control includes regular checks on raw materials and components as they are received, as well as at each stage of the manufacturing process. The open length of the knife is 7.5" (19.5 cm), with a blade length of 3.35" (8.5 cm).
