## Long description

Opinel No. 08 is a classic folding pocket knife featuring an oak wood handle and a carbon steel blade. Size 08 provides a balanced blade length for everyday use, combining a compact form factor with sufficient cutting edge for common tasks. The knife includes the Virobloc rotating safety ring that locks the blade open or closed, and a comfortably shaped ergonomic handle that offers a secure grip during use.
Advantages
The oak handle delivers a natural feel and durable surface that adapts to handling over time, while the carbon steel blade offers sharpness and ease of re-sharpening. The Virobloc locking ring increases safety by preventing accidental blade closure or opening. The folding design makes the knife portable and convenient to carry in a pocket or pack, and the simple construction ensures straightforward maintenance and long service life when cared for properly.

Key specifications
 Handle material: oak wood with ergonomic shaping for grip
 Blade material: carbon steel, plain edge
 Locking system: Virobloc rotating safety ring to lock open or closed
 Design: folding pocket knife with single blade
 Finish: natural wood handle surface and polished/heat-treated carbon blade
How to use
Open the blade by rotating it out of the handle until it is fully extended, then rotate the Virobloc ring to lock the blade in the open position before cutting. Hold the oak handle with a comfortable grip and use controlled motions suitable for the material you are cutting. After use, rotate the Virobloc ring to unlock, fold the blade back into the handle until closed, and rotate the ring again to secure the blade in the closed position for safe carrying. Regularly wipe the blade dry after exposure to moisture and re-sharpen with appropriate sharpening stones or tools for optimal performance.
Usage recommendations
For longevity of the carbon steel blade, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and acidic foods; clean and dry the blade promptly after use and apply a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion. Use the Virobloc lock consistently to prevent accidental folding, and periodically check the handle and ring for wear. The knife is not intended for heavy prying or cutting hard materials such as metal or bone.
