No. 8 Slim Pocket Knife

Opinel's series of slim knives are designed with ease in mind. The handle is shaped specifically for long-lasting comfort in the palm of your hand, and is made from beechwood, while the stainless steel blade is sized to function as a pocket knife. It has a variety of uses, ranging from the practical all the way down to simply enjoying the afternoon slowly whittling a tree trunk into a toothpick.

Joseph Opinel grew up in a family of blacksmiths and took over the workshop in the French Alps in 1890. He pioneered the Opinel pocket knife and the world’s been in love with it ever since.
