Opinel N°08 Camping/Scout Knife

The Opinel N°08 Camper/scout knife is a versatile outdoor tool designed for camping, scouting and general outdoor use. It pairs a corrosion-resistant stainless steel clip point blade of 8.5 cm with a comfortable beech wood handle and a traditional slip-joint construction, offering reliable cutting performance and easy handling. The knife includes an alpine sheath with a passing and leather lace for convenient carry.

Advantages

The Virobloc® safety system locks the blade in both open and closed positions to reduce accidental closure or opening. The included alpine sheath with lace allows secure and accessible transport.

How to use

After use, close the blade and rotate the Virobloc® ring to lock it in the closed position before storing the knife in its sheath.

Recommendations

Keep the blade clean and dry after use to preserve the stainless steel and the beech handle. Sharpen the blade regularly with an appropriate stone or sharpener, and check the Virobloc® mechanism periodically to ensure reliable locking. Use the sheath for secure transport and avoid using the knife for prying or heavy-duty tasks beyond its intended design.
