Opinel | No 8 Carbon Steel Folding Knife
The No.08 Carbon Steel Folding Knife from Opinel feels like a quiet nod to timeless simplicity in your pocket or kitchen drawer. Since Joseph Opinel dreamed it up back in 1890 in the French Alps, this iconic size has traveled with explorers, artists, farmers, and home cooks alike, proving itself as the perfect everyday companion.
We love how Opinel keeps the design pure: a razor-sharp XC90 carbon steel blade that takes an edge like nothing else and sharpens easily, paired with a smooth varnished beech wood handle that fits just right in hand. The Virobloc safety ring locks it open securely or closed for safe carrying, so you can slice tomatoes, prune herbs from the garden, or whittle a stick without a second thought.
At 3.28 inches of blade and just 1.6 ounces overall, it's light enough to forget it's there until you need it. A little care keeps that carbon blade performing beautifully wipe dry after use, oil occasionally and it develops a handsome patina over time. Grab one and let it become your go-to for all those small tasks that make cooking and living feel more connected.
