OPINEL OPI N08 EFFILE African Padauk 002554

The Opinel Effilé No. 8 padouk is a sophisticated and functional folding knife. Its slender blade is perfect for tasks such as filleting fish and slicing thin, delicate pieces. This compact and stylish pocket knife is convenient to carry anywhere and also serves as an elegant addition to your dining experience. Crafted in France, it embodies quality and tradition. The knife is equipped with a Virobloc lock, also known as a ring lock. This mechanism securely locks the blade in place using a rotating ring. The Virobloc system requires both hands to operate, reducing the risk of your fingers coming into contact with the sharp edge. The blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27 steel, known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion due to its chromium content, and its durability thanks to a high carbon composition. This makes it both stainless and capable of maintaining a sharp edge for extended periods. The blade is also polished to achieve a brilliant shine. This knife features a handle made from padouk, a reddish-brown wood sourced from Central and West Africa. Also referred to as African coral wood, padouk is commonly used in musical instruments and furniture. Its vibrant red hue not only enhances its visual appeal but also provides a robust and durable structure suitable for everyday use.
