Reviews for Opinel No. 08 pocket knife, carbon steel, blade length 8,5 cm

Cheeky to ask for a review when yous never bothered to send it out. Not good communication skills at all and would not recommend.

I haven't got it . It never arrived ...so I can't really write a review can I ?

What more can said about Opinel, the quality is excellent, it’s light and pocket friendly with a high quality lock and beautiful wood handle. It’s lightweight and has a nice razor sharp cut to it. I use this as my walking carry when I’m at a lake or hiking I just carry it with my saw.

Great pocket knife for general garden use

Delivery and customer experience was excellent However the knife has not met my expectations. I own a few of these knives and this one isn’t a great example. I’m lot sure if I have a faulty one but the blade has a wave in it making sharpening the the future problematic

As a gardener just branching out into propagation, I know I need a small blade to take accurate cuttings and prepare them for planting. I’ve always believed the French to be pretty good at knives and I liked the shape and size if this knife. The design feature, which sold it for me (as well as price) was the moveable collar that secures the open blade in position for use. When not in use, the blade recesses into the handle. It’s easy to open and close with confidence that I’m not at risk of an accidental cut. On the whole, it’s a nice size for a woman’s hand and is now integral to my “batterie du jardin”.

Best little pocket knife there is for a gardener - and cheap enough to be able to have more than one! Takes a really good edge on my oil-stone, but I reckon you could get good results from an ordinary kitchen knife sharpener.

Fantastic super fast delivery. Great service!

I have been using Opinal knives for over 50 years, the simplicity of their design eliminates springs etc and the ability to lock the blade is a great advantage, Personally i prefer the Carbon steel blades to the stainless steel as i find that a much sharper edge can easily be produced . I use my knife daily for a whole array of reasons, work, Home or leisure times it always comes in handy. I have never had a blade break and only have to renew if i lose it, now at the price they are i buy two ,terrific value for money and i whole heartedly recommend them to anyone that require a good useful pocket knife.
