Review: love this color - Great knife, I love the color and the quality of the knife. I learned about this brand from the boy scout reddit group. This closure mechanism is super easy to use and safer in my mind than others. The feel of the handle fits my hand so well, The fact they have different sizes is perfect. The blade is very durable in stainless and holds its edge very well.
Review: I like it - First off, let me start by saying I am not a big Opinel fan, and have been on the edge about whether I wanted to buy one to try or just not bother mainky because I hear people compliment them all the time and how great they are for such a cheap price. I collect pocket knives of all value (except the extreme ones over 200+... I just cannot justify a $200+ pocket knife for any reason) my most expensive knife is either a Spyderco/Benchmade (forgot which costs the most but each are well up past $160) and I barely tske them out to use, but when I do they do not disappoint. My normal EDC knives are that of a spyderco tenacious, a Rat 1 or 2, that cheap $10 usa flag punisher knife from MTech, or a kershaw of some sort. For work I use a victorinox or a civivi elementum as well as my tenacious and RAT models. So to compare Opinel to them... I just didn't think it would be as good. Well, Opinel surprised me by coming out in a nice colorful pattern and after buying my wife a purple Opinel 07, I got the blue 08 to try. By all means do not tske my opinion the wrong way, for its pricepoint this knife is pretty good, especially for someone getting a knife for the first time, it is an awesome entry level knife. The blade is sharp, not very, but enough that I sliced paper and was pleased with stabbing a carboard box a few times rather easily. The color makes me enjoy this knife a little more and the fact that I can do daily activities with this knife should I choose and not be sad if let's say it chipped, broke or got lost, I would say it is definitely work the less than $20 pricetag. However, I am wishing I went with the Opinel 09 or bigger for the extra blade and handle, but it is in no way the fault of the knife. Overall, i really like this knife and plan to use it as a beater knife, knowing I can always get the normal wood handle version for cheaper makes it that much sweeter. If you're looking into a gift, an entry knife or just something unique, give it a try. It may surprise you as it has me.

## Features

- FLAGSHIP SIZE: The Number 8 is the most sold and versatile size in the ever-growing line of Opinel folding pocket knives, earning its reputation as an everyday carry staple. 3.35” blade (8.5cm), open length 7.5” (19.5cm).
- PATENTED VIROBLOC: A hallmark of Opinel everyday carry knives since it’s invention in 1955, the Virobloc ring offers a unique, thoughtful, and easy to use safety mechanism for locking the blade during use, during transport, and during storage.
- INOX BLADE: We use Sandvik 12C27 Modified Stainless Steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge and is easily sharpened.
- THE CROWNED HAND: In 1565 King Charles IX commanded every knife maker to stamp an emblem on their products to guarantee their origin and quality. In 1909 in order to honor this tradition Joseph Opinel chose the Crowned Hand as his emblem.
- AN ICON OF FRENCH CULTURE: Produced in the heart of the French Alps since 1890, Opinel knives draw simplicity and durability from their mountain roots. Opinel kitchen knives have been adopted worldwide and recognized as a design icon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm new to opinel, and new to pocket knives. it seems that they all have numbers, but the description for this one does not. is it a no7?**
A: It is a number 8. Nice knife that I carry in my back pocket. You won't be sorry.

**Q: Does the handle warp in water? Thx**
A: In my experience, ANY treated/painted wood will eventually succumb to water/liquid. That being said, I have used mine in wet environments hunting and camping and to gut trout. A quick clean water rinse (use mild soap if bloody), a light wipe with WD-40 and air dry in the open position and I've yet to have a problem. A great knife at a great price.....wear it out and let us know.

**Q: What number are these ? No°8, No°9...?**
A: It's a number 8. Great knife as well.

**Q: Is this knife user friendly for a lefthanded person?**
A: This knife really requires both hands to open and close but it is symmetrical. It opens by rotating the metal cuff at the top of the handle and then pulling the blade out of the handle. You can then lock it open by rotating the metal cuff back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thin, slicey blade - light carry
*by O***G on November 1, 2025*

The blade is easy to sharpen and it shows 1.6 ounces on my postal scale. The blue is great and I use it for day hiking. No pocket clip so it goes in my front waist pocket on my pack.......it is a 2 hand opener and closer with the unique lock ring.
