With a compact design and easy-to-use Virobloc locking ring, the Opinel No. 8 stainless steel pocket knife has stood the test of time. Founded in a blacksmith shop in Savoie, France over 130 years ago, the simply efficient nature of the Opinel knife finds the perfect balance of evolved features with a “true to its roots” sort of timelessness. The signature wooden handle makes for a premium aesthetic while providing the steady grip needed for any task the river ahead may bring.
