Description of OPINEL №8 Beech (123080) Brown Multitool - Versatile and Reliable Tool for All Your Needs
The Opinel 8 VRI knife model of the Inox series is suitable for use during trips to nature or in an ordinary kitchen. Its blade uses Sandvik 12C27 steel from Sweden. It is a stainless steel alloy with a high hardness rating of 58 HRC. Such steel tolerates contact with water well, but does not lose its sharpening quality for a long time compared to other brands. The Opinel 8 VRI is slick-sharpened and has an 8.5cm blade that is thin enough to easily cut through food and other materials. The thickness of the butt of the knife is 1.7 mm. The shape of the blade is also universal - with a sharp tip just below the butt line.
The handle of the Opinel 8 VRI is made of beech wood in a classic shape with a wide butt. Wood has many advantages over other materials, including resistance to rust, lightness, strength. It is pleasant to hold a knife in your hands at any time of the year, since in summer it practically does not heat up, and in winter it does not cool your hand. In addition, the handle is impregnated with a special compound that increases the wood''s resistance to getting wet. This knife can be washed in the dishwasher along with the rest of the dishes.
The folding model of the Opinel 8 VRI knife is equipped with a clutch lock called Viroblock. A few decades ago, this lock was developed specifically for Opinel and is now used in all folding models of this brand. The advantage of such a lock lies in its ability to lock the blade both in the open and in the folded position. In addition, the design of the lock is very simple and it consists of only one part - a metal swivel sleeve.
Convenience and simplicity, reliability and functionality, perhaps these are the requirements that every knife owner needs. You will find all these qualities in knives from the French company Opinel.
