OPINEL N°08 Folding Knife S/S with Gift Box – Workshop
The #08 Workshop knife reveals the expertise and creativity of Opinel’s craftsmen. To limit the waste of damaged ebony, this handle allows them to recover the wood that would have otherwise been scrapped. The result is a mix of walnut and ebony separated by a sheet of maple. To get a velvet touch, a specific wax is applied manually on each handle. A 30° cut is made at the heel, then the walnut and ebony are assembled, glued and pressed. Once worked and shaped, the handle is finally buffed just like all the other handles manufactured in this workshop.
The 8.5 cm blade is made from corrosion-resistant Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel which is low maintenance and provides excellent cutting quality. The Virobloc safety ring allows the user to work without any risks.
Handwash Only.
Blade Length: 8.5cm
Stainless Steel Blade: Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent)
Handle: Walnut and ebony wood handle
