Opinel No.08 Oak Hare OP001623

The Opinel No. 08 Folding Knife Beechwood Adventurer is a time-tested tool reimagined for those who find their freedom in the wild. This classic French folding knife embodies rugged simplicity and proven reliability, offering a refined balance between practical performance and timeless design. Whether you're trail-bound, camp-side, or taking care of small tasks at home or in the workshop, the No. 08 delivers no-nonsense function in a lightweight, compact form.

At the core is a 3.28" clip point blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. This high-performance steel is known for its corrosion resistance, edge retention, and overall toughness—perfect for enduring outdoor use without requiring constant sharpening or care. The blade’s satin finish enhances its durability and adds a clean, understated look. A traditional nail nick provides easy manual opening, while the knife's signature rotating safety ring lock ensures it stays securely open during use and safely closed when stored.

This No. 08 Adventurer model features an oak wood handle etched with a hare graphic—an homage to nature and the outdoorsman’s spirit. The wood is smooth in hand yet offers a solid grip, with subtle contours that make extended use comfortable. Oak is prized for its strength and grain, giving this knife not just a functional edge but also an heirloom quality feel.

Weighing in at just 1 ounce and measuring 4.31” closed, this knife disappears in your pocket until needed. Its slim profile and lack of unnecessary bulk make it ideal for minimalist carry, while still offering enough blade for everyday slicing, whittling, food prep, or light camp chores.

The safety ring, a staple of Opinel’s design, adds confidence to your grip by locking the blade in both the open and closed positions—an added layer of security that many traditional folders lack. It’s this simple innovation, along with time-honored craftsmanship, that has made Opinel a trusted name for generations.

Whether you’re an experienced outdoorsman or just want a trustworthy pocket companion, the Opinel No. 08 Adventurer stands ready to serve with understated style and reliable edge. Order it today from SMKW!
