FRENCH STYLE FORAGING: The Opinel No. 08 Mushroom Knife is the ideal tool for picking morels, ceps, chanterelles, trumpets, rosés meadows, coulemelles, boletes, and much more. Curved blade, beechwood handle with integrated brush for cleaning crop
BEECHWOOD HANDLE: The ergonomic shape of the traditional wooden handle has remained unchanged since its design in 1890. Beech wood, locally called “fayard”, is mostly used. Its grain is fine and homogenous, providing excellent mechanical strength.
SANDVIK STAINLESS STEEL BLADE: 12C27 modified stainless steel blade provides an excellent cutting edge and superior corrosion resistance. Each blade is stamped with the Crowned Hand, Joseph Opinel's chosen maker's mark, to guarantee authenticity.
PATENTED VIROBLOC COLLAR: A hallmark of Opinel everyday carry knives since it's invention in 1955, the Virobloc ring offers a unique, thoughtful, and easy to use safety mechanism for locking the blade during use, during transport, and during storage.
SUSTAINABILITY: Opinel actively strives to reuse, recycle, and reduce waste throughout manufacturing processes. From sustainably harvested wood to minimal packaging, it's our way of committing to making quality knives for generations to come.
