Product detailed description

On a trip, there are two types of people: those who have a knife, and those who will soon be looking for someone from the first group.This Opinel is exactly the kind of companion you take into the woods for its practicality, only to find yourself pulling it out more often than your snack.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°08 ANIMALIA CHAMOIS folding knife is a practical outdoor companion that complements its traditional French construction with a striking natural motif.
• The 8.5 cm blade offers high sharpness and a versatile size suitable for regular cutting during trips, outdoor activities and everyday use.
• Martensitic stainless steel with a hardness of 55-57 HRC provides good mechanical resistance, a reliable edge and high corrosion resistance.
• The high abrasion resistance of the blade helps preserve its cutting properties even during regular contact with harder materials before the next sharpening.
• The French oak handle impresses with its yellow-brown hue, regular grain and laser engraving featuring a mountain motif with chamois.
• Oak is one of the hard and durable wood types, and thanks to its high tannin content, it also naturally resists the effects of insects and fungi.

• The 10.9 cm handle fits comfortably in the hand and provides plenty of space for confident handling of the knife during work.
