Mushroom knife N°08, with sheath, stainless steel, 8 cm, Oak - Opinel

Always be ready for mushroom picking with this special N°08 knife, featuring a blade made of stainless steel and an oak handle, produced by Opinel.

The mushroom knife N°08 comes with an elegant sheath for protection and transport, both packaged in a wooden box. A unique gift set for nature and cooking enthusiasts!

With the help of the knife, you can quickly pick, brush off the dust, and clean mushrooms. The handle is equipped with a wild boar hair brush, and the blade has serrations on the upper edge to facilitate cleaning.

Martensitic stainless steel
The stainless steel used for OPINEL blades is optimized to ensure both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade benefits from excellent sharpness and high abrasion resistance, allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of not requiring special maintenance under normal conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, saltwater, detergent...).
Hardness of the stainless steel: 55-57 HRC.

The handle
The oak wood comes from France. It is a hard and very resistant wood (including to insects and fungi) due to its high tannin content. It has a yellow-brown appearance with regular veins.

Safety ring
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is mounted on all folding knives starting with model N°06. Cut from stainless steel, Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety during use), it is now possible to lock the blade when closed (safety during transport).

Blade length: 8 cm.

The sheath for protection and transport is made of synthetic leather and can be worn on the belt.

The wooden gift box features a plexiglass window.
