Opinel is a world-renowned brand for many reasons. Their production is top-notch, their innovative ring-lock is reliable and durable, and their design is timeless. These pocket knives excel at any task, giving you a feeling of self-confidence just by sitting in your pocket. This inward-curved blade is perfect for foraging and picking delicate items. The horse-hair brush can be used to clear dirt and debris from your mycological gems.
This knife has a stainless steel blade, a relatively new innovation in Opinel designs. Unlike its predecessor, they do not rust and are a much lower maintenance option than their carbon steel cousins.
About Opinel - Opinel is the quintessential French pocket knife. Their history of forging steel goes back to the early 1800's in the Opinel family, and the numbered sizing system that they are known for was created in 1897 by Joseph Opinel. As demand increased, Joseph moved the company to Pont de Govoudaz to create a larger facility, innovating new knife-making machines, training workers, and bringing electricity to the village for the first time ever! Nowadays, Opinel is an internationally recognized design. Their minimalist designed has hardly changed, save for innovative new styles and the use of higher-quality modern steels.

"I love this knife. I do a lot of outdoor hiking. It is easy to carry in my pocket. I use it to cut kindling for fires. I also use it around the house. It is so sharp I use it to cut vegetables for cooking. I carry it with me everywhere. Great knife."
"I have always loved this knife. This is my second No. 8 Opinel knife. My first one was run over by a truck and destroyed. Had to replace it. I need a new one so that I can continue foraging for mushrooms. Thanks."
"Great pocket knife"
"Lovely and practical little knife. Will be looking forward to the foraging season to try it out, but seems well made (the usual opinel standard), and customer service was great."
"A excellent knife. I went with the stainless steel as this is now my EDC knife and I didn't want to worry about rust damage. So far it does a fine job of making feather sticks and prepping other types of tinder."
"Handy little unassuming knife. It has a nice sharp blade, an intelligent locking mechanism, and is a convenient size to keep in a pocket."
"Great little camp knife and inexpensive. Needs more use to loosen up a little, then it will be better. In store help and sharpening services for my day to day knifes, excellent. This is the place for everything knifes."
"Pas cher, simple, beau, de bonne fabrication et utile en toute circonstance. Tout le monde devrait avoir un Opinel."
