Outdated Product
A relatively inexpensive folding knife from OPINEL is a solution for everyday carry (EDC). The model is also suitable for tourist use, can be useful on hikes, picnics, camping, etc. The 85 mm long blade has a Clip-point profile, which guarantees increased convenience during stabbing operations, which, among other things, can interest fishermen or hunters. In general, a blade with a smooth cutting edge can be considered very versatile. 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. It is worth considering that the blade has a relatively sma...ll thickness in the spine area (about 1.5 mm), so you should not count on increased resistance to transverse loads. 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.
