At Opinel, we are proud to unveil our latest creation: the Limited Edition Opinel No.08 Forge Knife. This exclusive knife, limited to just 6,000 pieces, represents the pinnacle of our craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Combining traditional techniques with contemporary elegance, this knife is a true collector's item.
A Blade of Distinction
The No.08 Forge Knife is forged from high-carbon steel, known for its exceptional cutting performance and ease of sharpening. What sets this knife apart is its raw "brute de forge" finish. This unique feature emphasizes the blade's hammered appearance, with only the lower part ground smooth to ensure a razor-sharp edge. The result is a blade that not only performs exceptionally but also exudes a rugged, handcrafted charm.
Elegant and Functional Handle
Complementing the impressive blade is the oiled ebony wood handle. The handle is meticulously cut with irregular facets, providing both a striking aesthetic and a comfortable grip. Adding to its sophistication is the black Virobloc locking ring, which ensures the blade remains securely in place during use. The combination of these elements makes the No.08 Forge Knife not only a practical tool but also a beautiful piece of art.
Exquisite Presentation
Each knife comes in a custom-designed gift box, making it an ideal choice for collectors or anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship. Whether you are adding it to your collection or presenting it as a gift, the No.08 Forge Knife is sure to impress. It's a highlight of our Father's Day Collection, suitable for culinary kings and outdoor adventurers.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your Limited Edition Opinel No.08 Forge Knife in pristine condition, follow these simple care instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Avoid immersing the knife in water, as this can warp the wooden handle. Instead, wipe the carbon blade dry immediately after use with a soft, dry towel.
- Lubrication: Apply a food-safe oil to the blade before closing the knife to prevent oxidation. This helps maintain the blade’s performance and appearance.
- Patina Development: Over time, the carbon steel may develop a patina, which adds to the knife's character. This is a natural process and enhances the blade’s uniqueness.
For those looking to maintain their knife in top condition, we recommend using our Opinel Maintenance Items. It includes everything you need to keep your blade sharp and your handle looking immaculate. Read our 'Practical guide to preserving your Opinel knives' here for more details.
