Opinel No.08 Black Oak Folding Pocket Knife, 3.35 Inch Black Stainless Steel Blade, Oak Handle, Wooden Gift Box

The Opinel No.08 Black Oak is a classic Opinel with a darker attitude. Its blade and Virobloc locking ring carry a matte black finish, paired with a handle of varnished French oak. It suits everyday carry and makes a good addition to a collection.

The black coating is more than cosmetic. According to Opinel it makes the stainless steel blade even more resistant to rust, while the knife stays food safe and can be resharpened. Underneath is the familiar No.08: a 3.35-inch blade and the Virobloc safety ring that locks open and closed.

• Blade: 3.35 in (8.5 cm), stainless steel with black finish

• Handle length: 4.29 in (10.9 cm)

Care: Wipe clean and dry after use. Do not use abrasive sponges on the black finish. Hand wash and dry right away. Do not soak the knife or put it in the dishwasher, which can damage a wooden handle.
