Description

The limited edition No.08 Sampo features a handle crafted with Curly Birch wood sustainably sourced from Finland.

A subspecies of the silver birch that grows in the Nordic countries, curly birch is particular to the Karelia region of Finland. With extreme growing conditions that modify the wood, the tree twists as it grows. Layers of soft and hard wood grow unevenly, creating the distinctive swirling, marble-like patterns of the wood grain.

Curly birch wood ranges from pale yellow to light brown, with a very unique appearance of swirling patterns.

Due to the unique nature of Curly Birch wood, veining may appear differently on knives.

Only 300 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.

In Finish mythology...

...the “Sampo” is a magical object that ensures wealth to the people who possess it, but no one really knows what Sampo looks like…

…could the iconic No.08 crafted with Finnish Curly Birch be Sampo?!
