How to Sharpen an Opinel No.08
Sharpen the No.08 stainless blade at a sharpening angle of roughly 20 degrees (10 degrees per side) using a whetstone or Opinel's sharpening stone. Draw the edge across the stone with light, consistent strokes from heel to tip, alternating sides. Finish with a few light passes on a leather strap or strop to remove burrs. Sharpen when slicing performance drops, not just when the edge feels dull.
Maintenance for Stainless (INOX) Steel
Wipe the blade dry after use, apply a drop of food-safe oil on the pivot occasionally, and clean the locking collar. The stainless steel (INOX) blade resists corrosion, making routine Opinel No.08 maintenance quick and simple.
Using the Virobloc Lock
Rotate the outer Virobloc ring counterclockwise to open the blade, then rotate it back to lock the blade open or closed. This rotating collar is the signature Opinel safety feature.
Carrying the No.08 with the Sheath
The included sheath protects the knife and your pocket. Belt-thread the sheath's loop for hip carry, or stow it in a bag or glovebox. Always carry the No.08 locked closed.
