## Long description

Opinel Animalia Chamois No. 08 is a compact folding pocket knife designed for everyday carry and light outdoor tasks. It features Opinel's classic No. 08 blade profile paired with a wooden handle decorated with the Animalia Chamois motif and a traditional slip-joint mechanism for safe, non-locking use. The blade is available in Opinel steel options suitable for cutting, whittling and simple food preparation, while the small, ergonomic handle provides secure grip and balance for one-handed opening and routine tasks.
Advantages
The knife combines a time-tested blade shape with a lightweight wooden handle and reliable slip-joint action that does not require a locking mechanism. Its compact size and modest weight make it convenient for pocket carry, while the wooden handle with themed decoration offers a tactile surface and distinctive appearance. The blade materials used by Opinel provide good edge retention and straightforward maintenance appropriate for everyday use.
Suitable for
Everyday carry (EDC) tasks such as opening packages and cutting cord
Light outdoor activities including whittling and campsite food preparation
Kitchen tasks on the go like slicing fruit or trimming produce
Hobby and craft work that requires a small, precise folding blade
Key specifications
Blade type: classic drop-point/profile suitable for general cutting
Blade material: Opinel steel options (high-carbon or stainless steel)
Opening mechanism: slip-joint (non-locking) with one-hand opening capability
Handle material: wood with Animalia Chamois decorative motif
Size class: compact (No. 08 blade size)
Weight: lightweight and balanced for pocket carry
How to use
Open the knife by rotating the blade from the closed position using the nail nick or one-handed technique; the slip-joint mechanism will hold the blade open under normal cutting forces. Use the blade for controlled, moderate-pressure cuts—slicing, trimming or whittling—and avoid using the knife for prying or heavy-duty tasks that exceed the design of a slip-joint folder. After use, clean the blade, dry it thoroughly and close it carefully until the handle covers the blade fully.
Usage recommendations
Keep the blade sharp with a suitable sharpening stone or steel, especially if the high-carbon option is chosen; apply light oil to metal parts to prevent corrosion and periodically treat the wooden handle with a food-safe oil or wax to preserve appearance and durability.
