Opinel knife blades are made using steels with a high carbon content, which is what makes it possible to achieve the excellent hardness after heat treatment, guaranteeing the good strength of the cutting edge, resistance to wear and easy sharpening. Carbon has a low resistance to corrosion caused by moisture, which means that certain precautionary measures are necessary when using and storing the knives: we recommend that you avoid damp environments and that you dry and grease the blade after use.

The handle is made from durable French orange beech wood, and the Opinel Yatagan blade, with its curved point and round profile, is effective, precise, elegant.

2 Reviews of “Opinel no.8 carbon lock knife”

  1. […] and paypal for payment processing. Check it out…and if you’ve never owned one, buy an opinel pocket knife - it’ll be the best, and probably the cheapest, pocket knife you will ever […]

  2. Probably the most useful all round size opinel knife, not too big to carry in a pocket. This carbon steel one is my favourite as you can sharpen them easily with a stone to a really good edge.
