The Opinel №8 outdoor knife offers a wide range of uses. The 2.5 mm thick blade is made of modified, stainless Sandvik steel 12C27. The 3.5 cm wide partial saw teeth allow natural and synthetic ropes to be easily cut through. Sailors will be delighted with the shackle opener integrated into the blade. The Virobloc system locks the blade securely in the open and closed position. The high-quality handle in the typical Opinel design is made from a polyamide/fiberglass material that fits comfortably and securely in the hand, even with wet hands. A signal whistle integrated into the handle and a plastic cord round off the extensive equipment.
