- 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.
- 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.
- AN ICON OF FRENCH CULTURE: Produced in the heart of the French Alps since 1890, Opinel knives draw simplicity and durability from their mountain roots. Opinel kitchen knives have been adopted worldwide and recognized as a design icon.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm new to opinel, and new to pocket knives. it seems that they all have numbers, but the description for this one does not. is it a no7?**
A: It is a number 8. Nice knife that I carry in my back pocket. You won't be sorry.

**Q: Does the handle warp in water? Thx**
A: In my experience, ANY treated/painted wood will eventually succumb to water/liquid. That being said, I have used mine in wet environments hunting and camping and to gut trout. A quick clean water rinse (use mild soap if bloody), a light wipe with WD-40 and air dry in the open position and I've yet to have a problem. A great knife at a great price.....wear it out and let us know.

**Q: What number are these ? No°8, No°9...?**
A: It's a number 8. Great knife as well.

**Q: Is this knife user friendly for a lefthanded person?**
A: This knife really requires both hands to open and close but it is symmetrical. It opens by rotating the metal cuff at the top of the handle and then pulling the blade out of the handle. You can then lock it open by rotating the metal cuff back.

*by M***E on January 13, 2026*

Great knife, I love the color and the quality of the knife. I learned about this brand from the boy scout reddit group. This closure mechanism is super easy to use and safer in my mind than others. The feel of the handle fits my hand so well, The fact they have different sizes is perfect. The blade is very durable in stainless and holds its edge very well.
