Specifications
Blade
- Classic No.08 stainless steel blade
- Iconic everyman size – the knife that started it all
Handle & Materials
Walnut and ebony mix with two veneers uniting the species – ebony that would have been scrapped, recovered to limit waste. Glued, pressed, buffed like every Opinel handle. Ships in a gift box.
Why the Workshop Model Is Different
Standard No.08 knives use beech handles; the Workshop edition recycles premium ebony offcuts into a two-species handle – a collector-grade look with a sustainability story at the same iconic size.
Use Cases
- Everyday carry – pencils, packages, pruning roses
- Gift for collectors and eco-conscious buyers
- Customizable pocket knife for personalization
Comparisons & Alternatives
Against the standard No.08 Colorama ($12.00 at Cutter's Bench), the Workshop trades varnished hornbeam for walnut-and-ebony premium wood. Against other ebony-handled knives near $95.00, this one is half price at $47.50.
