Why the OPINEL 130th Anniversary No8 Knife makes the perfect gift
This No.08 knife has been specially designed for the 130th anniversary of the Opinel brand. As such it is a limited edition knife of only 13,000, making it a truly unique and collectible Christmas gift.
The surface of the handle is decorated stylishly using the striking symbols of the brand. The blade’s black finish and the safety rings make it really original and a very special gift for Christmas.

About Opinel and their 130 year history
Opinel knives have an incredible 130 years of history. They have been produced by the Opinel family in the heart of the French Alps for all those years. In 1890, Joseph Opinel, aged 18, manufactured a small pocket knife: the Opinel was born! Apparently even Pablo Picasso had an Opinel knife! The numbers of the pocket knife correspond to the size of the blade with the sizes ranging from 1 to 12.
Today Opinel is a company who is still going strong with their iconic knifes, which have been handed down from generation to generation; Grandfather to Grandson. Opinel care about the environment and as such use wood from local sustainably managed forests.
