Opinel 8 Animal Rabbit Inox Folding knife

Opinel 8 inox oak hare is a folding outdoor knife with a lockable Sandvik 12C27 steel blade and an oak wood handle.

Swedish stainless steel

The blade is made of Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, whose composition and parameters can be compared to the popular 440A steel.

Due to its high hardness, purity of composition, resistance to abrasion and corrosion, and regular distribution of carbides, the Sandvik 12C27 steel blade stays sharp for a long time and can be easily sharpened even with a pocket sharpener.

A knife made of this steel is a good choice for those looking for an inexpensive and efficient tool for the mountains, the forest or for everyday use.

The blade has a usable clip-point profile, a gently curved cutting edge, a strong point and a flat grind. These properties make the blade not only functional and durable, but also very efficient when cutting.

Lockable blade

Unfolding the blade requires the use of two hands. This process is facilitated by the nail nick, a method known from Swiss Army knives, among others.

The blade can be easily locked with the Viroblock. The locking mechanism is a steel sleeve attached to the knife handle. After unfolding the blade, simply turn the sleeve a few degrees until it is impossible to accidentally fold the blade. This simple solution ensures safe and comfortable work.

Wooden handle

The knife has a classic coating of oiled oak, with laser-etched graphics on the theme of hunting. The round handle has an anatomically contoured shape, so the knife fits comfortably and securely in the hand.
