Opinel Carbone 8 Bois

The N°08 Carbon was born in Joseph Opinel's workshop in the 1890s.

Since then, it has become a classic worldwide, particularly thanks to its design and efficiency.

Its 8.5 cm Carbon steel blade offers an excellent cutting edge and unbeatable durability.

The beechwood handle provides a comfortable grip, making the knife safer to use.

The Virobloc safety system, invented by Opinel, allows the blade to be locked in the open or closed position.

Highly versatile due to its size, it is indispensable for small DIY tasks, hunting, agricultural work, and creative hobbies such as wood carving...

Opinel carbon steel is an unalloyed, high-carbon steel that, following heat treatment, achieves excellent hardness, guaranteeing a perfect edge retention as well as great wear resistance and easy resharpening.

However, as carbon steel has low resistance to corrosion from moisture, it requires certain precautions: do not leave your knife in a damp environment or in the dishwasher, wipe the blade with an oily cloth after use, and oil it frequently along with its pivot joint.
