Limited Edition Leather Handle

ATTENTION COLLECTORS This is a limited edition! 1005 units TOTAL are in existence globally.

  • Each available colors is NUMBERED 000/335
  • Each of the 3 color is limited to 335 examplairs.
    Taking in consideration that we manufactures around 15,000 knives a day the No8 color leather edition are destined to be highly collectable, do not miss this rare opportunity!

    The No8 is the most sold and versatile size in the ever growing line of Opinel folding knives. This knife is small enough to be used as a pocket knife and its 3 1/4" blade prevents it from being considered a weapon in most states (please check with your state).

This Knife features the Virobloc Safety rings. 
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives sizes No6 through No12. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety while in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety on the go).

Blade:12C27 Sandvik Stainless Steel

Handle:  Full-grain leather

Yatagan Style:The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.

12C27 modified stainless steel is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge. We suggest you take a look at our F.A.Q where most common questions about Opinel knives are answered.
