Opinel No.8 001703 - Stainless Steel, Forest Green

The Opinel No.8 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife is the most iconic and widely used model in the Opinel lineup, offering a balance of portability, cutting performance, and traditional design. Suitable for everyday carry, outdoor use, and food preparation, it remains a benchmark for simple, effective folding knives. The blade is made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, delivering excellent corrosion resistance, edge stability, and ease of sharpening. Its thin geometry provides efficient slicing performance across a wide range of tasks. With a 3.28-inch blade, the No.8 offers enough cutting length for real utility while remaining compact enough for pocket carry. The handle is constructed from dyed hornbeam wood in a forest green finish, providing a lightweight and ergonomic grip. This Colorama version includes a lanyard for convenient carry and retention. The knife features Opinel’s Virobloc locking ring, securing the blade in both open and closed positions for safe use and transport.
