Care and Maintenance
Dry the blade after each use, add a drop of oil to the pivot occasionally, and hand wash only. Padouk requires less handle care than beech thanks to its natural water resistance; its color deepens beautifully over time.
Selection Criteria: Why the No.08 Size
The No.08's 8.5 cm blade is Opinel's most versatile length — enough edge for camp kitchen duty and game tasks, compact enough for pocket carry. It is the most-purchased Opinel size worldwide.
Use Cases
Everyday carry, camping food prep, fishing, hunting, trail tasks, and opening packages. The polished finish also suits gifting and collection display.
