Opinel No.08 Stainless Steel Folding Knife with Lanyard 001703

Our most iconic size, the No.08, is the knife that started it all. Dating all the way back to 1890 when Joseph Opinel created a simple yet robust tool for the everyman, the No.08 has been featured in countless museums, books and galleries around the world. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your pencils, or prune your roses, the No. 08 has been a favorite of explorers, artists, farmers, and chefs alike. The colorama line features tinted and varnished hornbeam handles in a range of colors and comes equipped with a convenient lanyard you can easily attach to your bag, so you're never without an Opinel! This size features the Virobloc® safety ring.

• Minimal Packaging: Opinel Knives are traditionally sold without any retail packaging to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Knives have been minimally packaged in clear plastic zip bags, fitted to the size of the knife.
• 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
