The blade of the OPINEL 8 VRN knife is made of Sandvik 12C27 steel - an alloy with excellent anti-corrosion properties and balanced performance properties. It is stated that it holds the factory sharpening well, but also does not imply a labor-intensive procedure for restoring the original sharpness.

A characteristic feature of the model is a wooden handle, which looks impressive, is comfortable to use in winter, and has a moderate weight: the product is really light - only 45 grams. Separately, it is worth highlighting the viroblock lock for finger protection, the ability to use with one hand, and the presence of a complete case for carrying or storage. |
