A raw Opinel handle for you to carve! Show off your skills and turn this natural wooden handle into your own. Cherry wood or "Prunus Avium" is a smooth-grained, reddish-brown hardwood that comes from sustainably managed French forests.
⚠ Wood is a natural material: color tones and veining can differ from the displayed image.
CAUTION: This Opinel knife, once it is carved, is not authorized for sale.
Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Dry the blade before closing.
Keep your blade sharp and your handle shiny with our maintenance kit.

United StatesThe three different varieties of wood handles are even more exceptional than expected. Opinel continues to produce beautiful and functional knives. I am proud to include the Ebauche No. 8 varieties (Olive Inox, Maple Inox and Cherry Carbon) to my already wonderful collection of Opinel knives dating back to the 1950s. I am a fervent believer in your No. 8. There is no better folding knife than the Opinel. My father gave me his (from the 1950s) and I have never looked back! Merci Beaucoup !
United Statesi learned whittling and practiced on a template model i made using shop tools to learn how to whittle until i had the skill to whittle the handle on this one! can't attach picture due to losing the knife, but it was awesome.
United StatesQuality product and the Opinel experience is wonderful. I ordered three of the custom handle knives to give as gifts at Christmas but only received instructions for one. I contacted cusomer service and they took made it right fast. Great knives and great company!
Another example of consistent quality and superb craftsmanship. Thanks.
Great utility knife. I’m researching what I can do with handle for comfort of use before I plunge into carving it. Nothing fancy, just need to fit the hand for better grip and functionality. Love the knife and the option to customize handle. Cherry wood handle option is beautiful.
