Opinel No8 Outdoor Stainless Earth Red OP001714
Discover the spirit of adventure with the OPINEL No.8 Outdoor Knife in Earth Red—a timeless tool born in the French Alps in 1890 and refined for today’s explorers. Crafted by the pioneering Opinel family, this iconic folding knife blends century-old heritage with cutting-edge materials to deliver unbeatable performance wherever your journey takes you.
From early mornings carving wood at camp to impromptu repairs on the trail, the No.8 Outdoor is your go-anywhere companion. Its 8.5 cm Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade stays razor-sharp longer and resists rust, thanks to a precise blend of carbon and chromium. Whether you’re slicing fresh vegetables for a backcountry meal or whittling tinder for a fire, you’ll appreciate how smoothly the blade glides through every task.
The vibrant Earth Red handle is engineered for life outdoors. Made from fiberglass-reinforced polyamide, it laughs in the face of shocks, standing firm through temperature extremes from –40°F to 176°F and shrugging off damp conditions. Ergonomically sculpted for a secure grip, it fits comfortably in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. Tucked inside, a pealess whistle packs 110 decibels of emergency signaling power—an essential lifeline when every second counts.
Safety and simplicity unite in the patented Virobloc® rotating lock ring. One twist locks the blade open for confident cutting; another secures it closed for worry-free transport. No tools required, no fuss—just reliable performance you can trust.
At just 82 g, the No.8 Outdoor slips easily into your pocket or packs neatly in your gear. Its classic silhouette, modern colorway, and rugged capabilities make it a standout choice for hikers, hunters, anglers, and anyone who demands a knife that’s as versatile as their adventures.
Whether you’re a seasoned woodsman or a weekend warrior, the OPINEL No.8 Outdoor Knife is more than a tool—it’s an invitation to explore, create, and push your limits. Embrace the legacy of over 130 years of French craftsmanship and make every outing unforgettable.
