Thanks to their many years of accumulated know-how,Opinel 's Savoyard creators can now offer you ultra-practical, ergonomic knives that still retain the rustic look we love so much.
TheOpinel Baroudeur n°08 in blue has all the features an adventurer would expect from a pocket knife:
The blade
The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its strength and ease of maintenance. This steel has a high carbon content (approx. 0.4%), which further enhances its strength. As a result, the edge of the blade will be all the finer and sharper.
It then undergoes a special 2-stage heat treatment:
- tempering: the blade is heated to over 800°C and then rapidly cooled down.
- tempering: the blade is heated again, and then cooled very slowly.
Then comes the sharpening: an Opinel is sharpened at an angle of around 40° to ensure that the edge does not deteriorate too quickly, but is still very effective. This operation is carried out by hand.
The blade is also called Yatagan, thanks to its particular shape inspired by a Turkish saber, with the point raised. It is ground to a curved profile, guaranteeing high-performance resharpening.
The ferrule
The ferrule is a very important element: it forms the junction between the blade and the handle, making the whole piece even more solid.
The ferrule is rotatable, meaning that a new steel ring has been added to the one holding the handle and blade together. This rotating ferrule locks the blade when folded or unfolded. So you can use your knives in complete safety.
The handle
Made from French hornbeam, the handle features a large slot for the blade. Due to the nature of the wood, which has only a slight grain, it is easy to apply a color that will last for a very long time. This blue-colored handle will add a touch of vitamin to your legendary opinel.
What's more, the small leather cord at the end of the handle allows you to carry or hang the Opinel easily and efficiently on any support (key ring, belt...).
Whether you're an adventure companion (hiking, hunting, camping...) or a table companion, this authentic Opinel will be an indispensable tool for all your outings! It will be appreciated by adventurers!
