Opinel Folding Knife Carbon Steel No. 8
- Ships Direct from the Manufacturer
The Opinel Folding Knife Carbon Steel No. 8 is a trusted, time-honored tool that delivers precision and reliability for gardeners, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Known as the most popular size in the Opinel range, it’s ideal for harvesting vegetables, trimming herbs, and handling small pruning jobs with ease. Lightweight and compact, it fits comfortably in a pocket or garden apron, making it a dependable companion for daily tasks in the field or garden.
Crafted with a high-carbon steel blade, this knife offers superior sharpness and edge retention for clean, precise cuts that support plant health. The patented Virobloc safety ring locks the blade securely open during use and closed during transport, ensuring safety whether you’re working or storing it. The varnished beechwood handle provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that’s both functional and attractive, while its traditional folding design has been refined in France since 1890 for lasting durability and performance.
With proper care—drying and lightly oiling the blade after use—this Opinel knife will serve as a versatile, long-lasting tool for everything from gardening to homestead maintenance.
