Review: I’ve retired my more expensive brand knives for Opinel - Where 100 plus years of history and robust design meet superb simplicity and quality. I’ve carried my share of other much more expensive brands. Those are all in a bottom drawer now in favor of my Opinel! It performs just as well as my other blades. Zero disappointment with Opinel. About the price, they could charge much more for these knives. But do not. Mine is used daily for mostly tough agricultural work. It holds an edge well. The blade locks securely with a beautiful and simple ring. The overall balance and natural feel of the wood gives the handler great confidence at the task. I have large hands and the #8 fits well yet small enough not to need a belt sheath. I chose olive wood because…. Well because it looks awesome.
Review: Incredible piece of knife history; A must have. - I love the quality level of this knife. It really is a must have piece for the knife conniseurs out there. I don't recommend this as your first or only knife. This is one you buy when you have already built an established collection and want to start adding more "artistic" pieces and pieces with heritage. This knocks that out of the park. Excellent price, superb quality and feel. Very light weight as well and does come super sharp. The walnut is exquisite. I really enjoy using the locking mechanism on the knife as well, it's simple and just works. No matter what size hands you have Opinel makes a knife for you, I personally have smaller hands and while this knife does fit great I could see why the #07 would be delightful as well.

## Features

- SENSIBLE LUXURY: From France, this Oak wood is hard and very resistant to wear due it’s high tannin content. It has a yellow-brown appearance, with regular grains and veining throughout
- INOX BLADE: We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge and is easily sharpened.
- THE CROWNED HAND: In 1565 King Charles IX commanded every knife maker to stamp an emblem on their products to guarantee their origin and quality. In 1909 in order to honor this tradition Joseph Opinel chose the Crowned Hand as his emblem
- PATENTED VIROBLOC: A hallmark of Opinel everyday carry knives since it’s invention in 1955, the Virobloc ring offers a unique, thoughtful, and easy to use safety mechanism for locking the blade during use, during transport, and during storage
- FRENCH HERITAGE: For over 130 years Opinel has been crafting knives and tools in the heart of the French Alps. Much like Joseph Opinel did from his workshop in 1890, today we still manufacture Opinel products from our factory in Chambery, France.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really nice knife!
*by D***E on April 20, 2014*

When I ran across Opinel I was intrigued. French, designed in the 1890's and the design hasn't changed. I had to have one! I saw the Bubinga wood special edition and bought it. Even though it cost twice as much, these knives are ridiculously inexpensive. This worried me, until I received mine in the mail! First impression: This is a really nice knife. It is light. The wood is finished fairly well and the Bubinga is a beautiful wood. The blade is stainless steel and is fully polished, quite thin, fairly sharp out of the box. The blade is tight and I am looking into ways to loosen it up, there are lots of improvements on YouTube. The locking mechanism is of inspired design and well put together and it works. It is a simple design and I love that. I have large hands and this No. 8 is barely big enough to fit my hand, but it does. The handle just sort of fits. Overall I could see why Opinel hasn't changed in 120 years, it was a simple and inspired design. A closer Look: For a knife in the $20 range this is a great deal and there is no down side. But there is room to improve in the finish of the wood, my personal opinion is that the factory finish is just fine, for a knife in this price range. But I sanded it down with 220, 320 and 600 grit sand paper and put several coats of Tung Oil on it and it really brought out the depth of the wood. WOW! The depth of the Bubinga came out and the knife looks 100% better. A quick and simple upgrade for those that like a high quality finish on wood. Sharpening and edge holding: I used my Lansky and put a 20 degree edge on it and stropped to a mirror finish. It sharpened quickly and took a very good edge. It reminded me more than anything else of a Victorinox Swiss Army knife in how it sharpened and the edge it took. Haven't had a chance to use it much yet but looks like it should keep an edge well. In Summation: I really like this knife! It is a beauty! I am buying more. I would recommend it highly. UPDATE: It has been about a month since I purchased this knife and I liked it so much I have now bought 5 more of various wood types, sizes and designs! As I said, they are all really nice knives. I have refinished all the handles, and in one case stained the standard wood handle a darker more pleasing shade. They all look great and my love of Opinel knives has only increased with my familiarity!
