The Opinel No 8 Black Oak is the black edition of the iconic Opinel knife. The blade and safety ring are given a PVD coating, which improves corrosion resistance and is safe for food contact. The varnished handle is oak from French forests.
It offers excellent cutting quality, and the Virobloc safety ring lets you work without risk. A striking design and a memorable gift.
