Opinel 8 carbon beech folding knife - elegant and handy
The knife has a small 83 mm long blade, made of hard XC90 high-carbon steel. Thanks to its high carbon content (up to 0.90%), the XC90 steel blade is resistant to mechanical damage, stays sharp for a long time and cuts much more aggressively than stainless steel. However, it should be remembered that carbon steel is prone to corrosion, so it requires regular and proper maintenance. Each time after use, the blade should be thoroughly cleaned, dried and protected with linseed/ camellia oil or synthetic knife grease. As with other Opinel models, a nail cutout is used to unfold the blade.
The handle ofbeech woodis exquisitely contoured andprovides a secure, pleasant grip. Blade locking is provided by a swivel ring, patented in 1955 under the name of thevirobloc.
