No.08 Nature Edition

The Opinel No.08 Nature Edition is a pocket knife with an 8.5 cm Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel blade (55–57 HRC) and a hornbeam handle decorated using 3D sublimation, 19.5 cm in open length. Available in three artist editions: Rommy González, Perrine Honoré and MioSHe.

The Nature Edition is a collaboration between Opinel and illustrators: the hornbeam handle is coated using a 3D sublimation printing technique, which allows the nature motif to cover the full circumference of the handle, including its edges and curves, unlike conventional flat printing. The result is a lifelike, photographic pattern with a genuinely handcrafted feel.

The Sandvik 12C27M blade has a hardness of 55–57 HRC and is easy to resharpen on a whetstone, while the Virobloc safety ring locks the blade with the usual reliability. The knife is both an everyday pocket knife and a collector's piece, ideal for anyone who wants to carry a love of nature and quality design in their pocket.

Specifications:
