The Opinel #8 Black Oak Edition is a striking take on the iconic folding knife. With a PVD-coated black blade and Virobloc ring, a varnished French oak handle, and the same legendary cutting quality Opinel is known for, this is as much a collector's piece as it is an everyday carry. A truly unforgettable gift.
Key Features:
- PVD Black Blade & Ring: A physical vapor deposition coating gives the blade and Virobloc ring a sleek matte black finish with enhanced corrosion resistance — safe for food contact.
- High-Performance Stainless Steel Blade: Hardened to 55-57 HRC for excellent sharpness and long-lasting edge retention. More rust-resistant than a standard stainless blade.
- French Oak Handle: Sourced from French forests, oak is hard, highly resistant, and naturally protected against insects and fungi thanks to its high tannin content. Varnished for moisture resistance.
- Virobloc® Safety Ring: Locks the blade open for safe use and closed for safe transport — also finished in PVD black.
- Size: 8.5cm blade and 10.9cm handle.
- Care: Avoid abrasive products or sponges — the black PVD finish is scratch-sensitive.
A bold, beautifully crafted folding knife that makes a statement on the trail, at the table, or under the tree.
