Opinel 8VRI Oak Wood Knife

Since 1890, Opinel has been a symbol of a free - spirited, nomadic lifestyle, perfect for sharing moments with others. Whether it's in your pocket, backpack, kitchen drawer, or on the table, this knife is always there. The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. With the addition of chrome, it's highly anti - corrosive and needs no special upkeep. The carbon content of at least 0.40% guarantees a sharp cutting edge. In 1955, Marcel Opinel invented the Virobloc safety ring, which is on all folding knives from N° 06. Made of stainless steel, it has a fixed and a sliding part. It not only locks the blade open for safe use but also locks it closed for safe transport. The handle is crafted from gorgeous oak wood. The blade length is 8.5 cm. You can add our engraving service to the cart to personalize this knife with a message or name.

Using this Opinel knife is easy. Just slide the Virobloc safety ring to unlock the blade and open it for use. When you're done, close the blade and slide the ring to lock it closed for safe transport. For daily use, it's great for cutting fruits in the kitchen or opening packages outdoors. When it comes to maintenance, since it's made of anti - corrosive stainless steel, you don't need to do anything special. Just wash it with mild soap and water after use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid using it on extremely hard surfaces as this may damage the blade. If you've added the engraving service, be gentle when cleaning to keep the engraving looking good.
