OPINEL N8 Folding Animalia Woodcut - Individual and 6 Piece Set

The No°08 Oak Engraved Handle Folding Knife - Animalia is a distinguished addition to Opinel's Animalia collection, showcasing pre-engraved designs that celebrate wildlife from across the globe, including species such as fish and bison. This compact pocket knife, featuring an oak wood handle, is designed to fit comfortably in any hand, making it an ideal companion for your pocket or bag.

Crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, the blade is both anti-corrosive and low-maintenance, with a carbon content of at least 0.40% that guarantees an exceptional cutting edge and ease of sharpening.

The wood used in the handle is sourced from ecologically managed French woodlands in the Alpine region and Jura mountains, adhering to stringent standards for social responsibility and environmental sustainability.

Equipped with the Virobloc® safety ring, the knife ensures secure opening and closing, providing peace of mind during use. The patented locking mechanism, developed in 1955, allows for secure blade operation, with the locking ring twisting clockwise to close during transport and counterclockwise to prevent folding during use.

Since 1909, all Opinel blades have been stamped with the Crowned Hand emblem, symbolising the blessing hand of Saint Jean-Baptiste and the original duchy of Savoie.

Available Animalia Variants

Each knife features a unique wildlife engraving on the oak handle:

Chamois
Deer
Dog
Hare
Trout
Wild Boar
Bear

ABOUT OPINEL:

Victor-Amédée Opinel who was a peddler, learnt how to forge nails during his travels. He set up his first blacksmith workshop in Gevoudaz, a hamlet part of Albiez-le-Vieux, near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. His son Daniel later worked alongside his father and grew to became a renowned “edgetool maker”(maker of sharp tools) among farmers who came from afar to buy his billhooks or sickles...

Fast forward to the new millenium and the Opinel pocket knife is recognised as one of the 999 most successful designs of all times by a jury of international designers in the beautiful three-volume set of the "Phaidon Design Classics"

Opinel: a design icon

The Opinel is a popular object used on a daily basis. Its aesthetics and functionality have convinced several generations of users. Unchanged for over a century, its design is one of the most successful of all times. For this reason, Opinel is recognised by the “Victoria and Albert Museum” as being among the 100 best designs. This list includes the Porsche 911 and the Rolex watch.
