Opinel No.08 mushroom knife

Opinel No.08 mushroom knife
£23.00
Ex Tax: £19.17

Opinel's No.8 mushroom knife, made with a mushroom cleaning brush mounted to a beech handle and an 8cm curved stainless steel blade. Opinel have been producing their iconic pocket knives in the Savoie region of France since 1890, and although the renowned locking ferrule was only introduced in 1955 in the 60 plus years since the design has become the archetypal folding lock-knife. Possibly safer than more traditional sprung pocket knives their construction is also less complex, allowing the rare marriage of quality and affordability.

By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Hand wash and dry well with a soft cloth immediately after use. Ensure the knife is never left sitting in wet conditions. High quality stainless steel knives will often include a high-carbon element, to increase performance. These kind of stainless steels are not 100% rust proof, and will require careful handling. A sharp knife is a safe knife — use a honing rod to keep a fine edge, and sharpen with a stone when necessary.
  • Weight g 50g
  • Item Dimensions Folded, L13 x W3 x H2, Open, L20.5, Blade, L7.5 x W2
  • Materials Stainless steel, beechwood, and boar bristle
