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 No 8 trekking knife uses Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. The addition of chrome makes it anti - corrosive and maintenance - free. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, it offers an excellent cutting edge. The Virobloc safety ring, invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, 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 closed for safe transport. The N°07 is super versatile, perfect for both urban and rural tasks. Its colorful handle is unique and comes with a convenient lanyard. The blade is 8.5 cm long and made of Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. You can also add our engraving service to personalize your knife with a message or name.
Using your Opinel No 8 trekking knife is easy. Just slide the Virobloc safety ring to open the blade for use and close it when you're done. When using the knife, make sure to hold it firmly and cut with a smooth motion. For safety, always lock the blade open when in use and closed when transporting. As for maintenance, since it's made of anti - corrosive stainless steel, you don't need any special care. Just clean it with mild soap and water after use and dry it thoroughly. You can also add a personal touch by using our engraving service, but avoid using abrasive materials on the engraved area to keep it looking good.
