Opinel No.08 Folding Knife

Yes, the stainless steel used by Opinel is highly resistant to corrosion and does not require special maintenance. It is designed to be rust-proof, making it a low-effort choice for outdoor use.

Yes, like most standard Opinel No.08 knives, this model features the Virobloc safety ring. You can lock the blade in the open position for safety during use or in the closed position for secure transport.

The leather lanyard is threaded through a hole in the handle and can be easily removed or replaced if you prefer to carry the knife without it.

The No.08 is widely considered the 'goldilocks' size in the Opinel lineup. It is large enough for most camping and food prep tasks but remains compact and lightweight enough to carry comfortably in a pocket.

The handle is made from varnished wood, which provides good protection against moisture and dirt. While the color is durable, like any wood-handled knife, it should be kept dry and not left submerged in water.
