Bring a taste of the French Alps to your next adventure with the Opinel No. 08 Alpine Hiking Folding Knife. Inspired by Opinel’s home in the mountains of France, this lightweight folder combines classic Alpine character with the practical design that’s made the No. 08 a trusted companion for generations.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.28-inch stainless steel blade that offers a dependable cutting edge for everyday camp chores, trail tasks, and general outdoor use. Stainless steel gives the blade a practical balance of cutting performance and resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for a knife that’s destined to spend time outside. With an overall length of 7.59 inches when open, the No. 08 provides useful cutting capability without becoming cumbersome in your pack or pocket.
The real standout is the handle, which comes pre-engraved with a trio of Alpine adventures and celebrates the rugged terrain that inspired the knife. This Alpine Hiking version captures the spirit of heading into the mountains, whether you’re exploring a winding trail, setting up at camp, or simply enjoying the scenery along the way. The engraved design gives the knife a distinctive look while making it a memorable addition to an Opinel collection.
Weighing just 1.2 ounces, this featherweight folder is remarkably easy to carry. It won’t weigh down your hiking pack or take up valuable room in your pocket, yet it still gives you a capable blade when you need one. Its compact profile makes it particularly well suited for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who believe every ounce matters.
The Opinel No. 08 Alpine Hiking Folding Knife isn’t just an outdoor tool; it’s a nod to the mountains that inspired it. Whether you’re adding it to your collection or taking it along for your next adventure, it brings classic French craftsmanship and Alpine spirit together in one lightweight package.
