Opinel No.08 INOX Mushroom Knife Sandvik 12C27

Lightweight folding knife from the French company Opinel, designed for mushroom harvesting and preparation. It features a specially shaped blade for working with fungi and a boar bristle brush at the end of the handle for cleaning them.

• Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade
• Lacquered beech wood handle
• Lanyard hole in the handle
• Virobloc safety ring to lock the blade in open and closed positions

Stainless steel does not require any special maintenance. Beech wood is commonly used for Opinel handles due to its durability and ease of work; the lacquer helps protect it from moisture and dirt.

The Virobloc system, created by Marcel Opinel in 1955, is present on folding knives from size No. 06 onwards and allows the blade to be locked in both open and closed positions.
