The Opinel Animalia No.08 carries an engraved wildlife design on a handle of French oak, celebrating animals from around the world. It is the much loved No.08 at heart, compact enough for a pocket or bag and comfortable in any hand. The Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel blade is easy to sharpen and needs little maintenance, and the Virobloc safety ring keeps it secure open or closed.
Why it works
- Pre engraved oak handle with a wildlife design
- 8.5cm Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel blade with at least 0.40% carbon, for a keen edge that is easy to sharpen
- Corrosion resistant and low maintenance
- Oak sourced from ecologically managed French woodlands in the Alps and the Jura
- Patented Virobloc safety ring, developed in 1955, twists to lock the blade open for use or closed for transport
- Stamped with the Crowned Hand emblem that has marked every Opinel blade since 1909
