Opinel 8VRI Olive Wood Knife

Since 1890, Opinel knives have been a staple in pockets, backpacks, kitchen drawers, and on tables. They represent a nomadic lifestyle, a natural spirit, and moments of sharing. This Opinel 8VRI knife features Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. Thanks to added chrome, it's anti - corrosive and needs no special maintenance. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, it offers an excellent cutting edge. The Virobloc safety ring, invented in 1955, is on all folding knives from N° 06. Made of stainless steel, it has a fixed and a sliding section, locking the blade both open for use and closed for transport. The olive wood's unique grain gives this Savoyard knife a Mediterranean touch. It comes with or without a sheath and gift box. Blade length is 8.5 cm. You can add our engraving service to personalize it with a message or name.

Using your Opinel 8VRI Olive Wood Knife is easy. First, to open the blade, slide the Virobloc safety ring forward until the blade locks in place. For cutting, hold the knife firmly by the handle. When you're done, slide the ring back to unlock the blade and fold it closed. It's important to keep the blade clean after each use. You can wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid leaving it in a wet environment as this could cause corrosion. Although the knife is made of anti - corrosive steel, proper maintenance will keep it in top shape. If you choose to use the engraving service, make sure your message is something you'll be happy with for a long time, as the engraving is permanent.
