Take your next trail ride a little farther with the Opinel No. 08 Alpine Mountain Biking Folding Knife. Inspired by Opinel’s home in the French Alps, this lightweight folder celebrates the adventurous spirit of mountain biking with a distinctive handle engraving and a capable stainless steel blade.
The 3.28-inch stainless steel blade gives you a dependable cutting tool for the everyday tasks that come with life on and off the trail. From cutting cord and opening packages at home to handling quick campsite chores, the blade offers useful versatility in a compact design. Its stainless construction also provides practical resistance to corrosion, making it well suited for an outdoor lifestyle where your gear can encounter moisture, dirt, and changing weather.
What sets this No. 08 apart is its Alpine-inspired handle. Pre-engraved with imagery celebrating mountain adventures, the Mountain Biking version brings a distinctive sense of personality to the classic Opinel design. The artwork pays tribute to the excitement of navigating rugged trails, steep climbs, and winding descents through the mountains. It’s a natural fit for riders who appreciate gear that reflects the adventures they enjoy.
Despite its capable 3.28-inch blade, this folder weighs only 1.2 ounces. That featherweight design makes it an easy addition to a riding pack, gear bag, or pocket without adding noticeable bulk. When you’re counting every ounce on a long ride, having a useful knife that practically disappears into your gear is a serious advantage.
With an overall length of 7.59 inches when open, the No. 08 strikes a practical balance between portability and cutting performance. It retains the familiar character of the classic Opinel platform while adding an Alpine-themed design that makes this version stand out from an ordinary folding knife.
Whether you’re heading out for a full day on the trails, exploring backcountry paths, or simply collecting distinctive Opinel knives, the Alpine Mountain Biking Folding Knife brings French mountain inspiration to your everyday carry. Lightweight, practical, and full of outdoor character, it’s a fitting companion for anyone who’d rather spend the day riding than sitting still.
Available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works, a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store.
