Description from the seller
Opinel N°08 Fish – Incised Folding Knife – Oak Wood – Sandvik 12C27 Stainless Blade – France
Description
Proposed at auction is an elegant Opinel N°08 Fish, one of the most fascinating versions of the iconic French knife, characterized by a refined laser engraving depicting a fish on the oak wood handle.
The N°08 is the most versatile model of the historic Opinel collection: thanks to its balanced dimensions and light weight, it is perfect for everyday use, hikes, camping, trekking, mushroom foraging, picnics and convivial moments.
The 8.5 cm blade is made from European-origin Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, hardened to 55-57 HRC, an alloy developed to offer an excellent balance between cutting ability, edge retention and corrosion resistance. The high wear resistance allows the blade to keep its edge for a long time even after regular use on demanding materials, while stainless steel requires minimal maintenance under normal operating conditions.
The handle, 10.9 cm long, is made of premium French oak wood, a hard and durable species naturally rich in tannins that make it particularly protected against insects and fungi. The protective varnish finish preserves the wood from moisture and dirt, keeping its beauty intact over time.
The knife is equipped with the famous Virobloc safety ring, invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel and present on all models from No. 06 onward. Made of stainless steel, it consists of a fixed part and a rotating part that allows locking the blade both in the open position for safer use and in the closed position, ensuring safety during transport.
The specimen is supplied with the original Opinel packaging, as visible in the photographs.
