Opinel's most recognizable size. It all began with the No.08 Carbon Steel knife. The No.08, which dates back to 1890 when Joseph Opinel produced a straightforward yet durable tool for the average person, has been displayed in innumerable galleries, museums, and books worldwide. From sharpening pencils to pruning roses, the No. 08 has been a favorite among farmers, chefs, artists, and adventurers. You'll be happy to have this folding knife handy, and it's the ideal size to fit in your pocket or backpack. The Virobloc® safety ring is included with this size.

Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Do not wash the carbon blade by running it under water, simply wipe it down after use. If wet, immediately dry the carbon blade with a soft, dry towel. Lubricating the carbon blade with a food safe oil before closing the knife is recommended (this prevents oxidation). Over time, carbon steel can develop a patina and may possibly show some corrosion, depending on use.
