Folding knife brand OPINEL is a product of the initial price segment with a classic design. It is positioned as a solution for everyday use (EDC), and thanks to its compact size and light weight (only 45 g), it is able to interest light hikers, fishermen and hunters who count every gram of their equipment. It uses the manufacturer's proprietary development - Virobloc lock with a swivel ring that allows you to block the blade of the OPINEL 8 VRI knife in the open or closed position, designed to increase overall safety of operation.

The model provides a wooden handle that looks stylish, does not slip out of the hands and is comfortable to the touch at any ambient temperature. It also has a hole for fixing a lanyard. The blade is made of Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. The metal underwent additional heat treatment, which increased its hardness. The length of the smooth blade is 85 mm, and the thickness is only 1.5 mm (so it is better to protect it from serious transverse loads). Other features also include the presence of a complete case for storage and transportation.
