The Opinel No.08 Grand Canyon National Park Folding Knife is a tribute to one of America's most breathtaking parks on an iconic outdoor adventure tool with an 8.5 cm (3.28 inch) blade that locks securely into place, and folds neatly into the handle between tasks.
This knife, designed by Summer Doss, a local artisan inspired by the Grand Canyon's striking landscape. It features a bird soaring over the canyon. For each of these knives sold, Opinel will make a donation to the organization Leave No Trace.
The timeless Opinel Number 8 is the perfect size for everyday carry. It is the knife model that started it all when Joseph Opinel introduced it in 1890.
This knife is perfect for everything from setting up camp to cooking by the fire, and is equally at home with DIY projects as out in the woods.
The blade of the No.08 is crafted from sharp, easy to maintain stainless steel with a convex blade grind, which minimizes contact between the sides of the blade and the material being cut, prolonging the sharp edge's life. This grind also makes the blade extremely strong and allows Opinel to put a remarkably sharp edge on it.
Crafted in the French Alps, this folding pocket knife features a tinted and varnished beechwood handle laser engraved with an image inspired by the national park of your choice on one side, and the name of that park on the other. It is made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests in France, and is contoured for a comfortable grip.
The blade locks open for use or closed between jobs with Opinel's patented Virobloc safety ring, which is a stainless steel ring that rotates into position and keeps the blade securely in place.
Caring for your Opinel Knife:
Hand wash only. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Dry the blade before closing, as carbon steel has very low resistance to corrosion. Wipe the blade clean after use and oil it frequently.Features of the Opinel No.08 Grand Canyon National Park Pocket Knife:
