Opinel No 08 Folding Knife Great Smoky Mountains National Park OP003244

The Opinel No. 08 Great Smoky Mountains National Park folding knife is a tribute to one of America’s most beloved natural treasures, blending timeless craftsmanship with the beauty of the wild. Created in collaboration with local artists who know the Great Smoky Mountains as home, this special-edition knife captures the serenity and splendor of its namesake park with a carved handle that brings nature right into your hand.

The 3.3-inch blade is made from high-performance Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its exceptional balance of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. With a classic drop point profile and a satin finish, the blade handles a wide variety of cutting tasks—from trail snacks to kindling prep—with effortless precision. A nail nick ensures smooth opening, while the blade’s fine edge arrives sharp and ready for daily use or display.

At the heart of the knife’s functionality is Opinel’s trusted Virobloc safety ring. This rotating collar securely locks the blade in the open position for safe use, and also in the closed position for worry-free carry. It’s a simple yet highly effective design that’s become a signature of the Opinel brand, trusted by generations of outdoor lovers, woodworkers, and everyday users alike.

The standout feature of this edition is the handle—crafted from beechwood and carved with an intricate waterfall scene inspired by the lush, mist-covered mountains that stretch along the Tennessee-North Carolina border. The engraved art pays homage to the cascading streams, mossy trails, and quiet grandeur of the Smokies, evoking the peaceful spirit of the park in every curve and grain. Lightweight and comfortable in hand, the handle offers both warmth and visual appeal, making this knife a joy to carry and a treasure to collect.

At 4.3 inches closed and just 1.6 ounces, this pocket knife is ideal for slipping into a daypack, jacket pocket, or tackle box. It’s compact without feeling delicate and beautifully functional without being flashy. Whether you’re sitting around a campfire, hiking a ridgeline, or simply appreciating fine tools, the Opinel No. 08 Great Smoky Mountains edition brings together practicality and artistry in a way that feels deeply personal.

Packaged with care and built to last, this knife is more than a tool—it’s a celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and the places that inspire us.
