Knife Opinel N°8 Outdoor Green

Tradition knives have a traditional handle shape, as well as a scimitar - shaped blade, and can be used in a variety of situations-from a picnic to hunting. Since 1980, there are twelve sizes in the Tradition collection, 1-12. Now numbers 1 and 11 are not released.In sizes 6-12, the blades are securely fixed in the open position thanks to the Virobloc® locking system, created by Marcel Opinel in 1955.The modern consumer market has forced even such a conservative company as Opinel to succumb to the influence of modern consumer trends and change some design features of its traditional folding knives. This series was called Opinel Outdoor.No, of course, this is still the same Opinel with a proprietary viroblock locking lock, but some changes are still noticeable at first glance. Firstly, the handle changed the material from traditional wood to modern plastic, which made the knife more practical and unpretentious to external conditions. Moreover, the end of the handle is a whistle with a power of 110 Db (audibility at a distance of more than 300 meters). With the help of an elastic strap, the knife can be easily attached to a belt or backpack.As for the cutting characteristics, the emphasis was placed on the strength of the blade. Blade No. 8 (85 mm) has a thickness of 2.5 mm (and not 2, as with classic Opinel knives).Opinel Outdoor is a modern reliable knife for active use in nature.ATTENTION! To avoid the appearance of stains on the surface of the blade, we recommend wiping the blade dry after contact with a wet environment. However, the appearance of stains is a chemical reaction of the steel and is not a defect or a warranty case.
