This limited edition No.08 knife features a carbon steel blade with a raw "brute de forge" finish that emphasizes the hammered appearance and is ground smooth only at the edge of the blade. Paired with a beautiful ebony wood handle featuring an irregularly faceted texture and a black virobloc locking ring, this forged knife is a nod to the elemental materials it is made of. The blade is forged from high-carbon steel for exceptional cutting performance and sharpening ease.
Only 500 available in the United States.
This knife includes a custom designed gift box.
For over 130 years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. Much like Joseph Opinel did from his workshop in 1890, today we still manufacture Opinel products from our factory in Chambery, France.
A Brute de Forge blade, ground only on the lower part and forged from high-carbon steel pairs beautifully with the black Virobloc® locking ring and textured ebony handle.
A oiled Ebony handle with a facetted texture compliments the rough forged edge of the Carbon blade, creating a unique limited edition knife.
Little has changed since 1890. Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, we're still following in Joseph Opinel's footsteps nearly 130 years later. From our home in the Alps, we make tools designed to stand the test of time. We value the quaility of our knives and tools, and offer a limited lifetime warranty for all Opinel products. In the event of a manufacturer's defect or workmanship, Opinel will exchange the products affected.
