Opinel - No 08 pruning knife

Do you like taking care of your plants and shrubs ? Then the Opinel #08 Pruning Shears is for you.

8 cm curved stainless steel blade, beveled on both sides

The Sandvik stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its good hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, which allows for a very satisfactory sharpness without being sensitive to corrosion.

Natural varnished beech handle

Supply: France. Tree present on the three continents of the northern hemisphere. One of the most elegant large trees, with a smooth trunk and dense foliage, the beech prunes very well. White or very pale brown in color, its grain is fine, its structure homogeneous and with a straight grain. Widely used in furniture, brushes, toys, parquet floors, etc.

Virobloc double security system

All Opinel folding knives are equipped with the patented Virobloc system, with the exception of the small Tradition knives. Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, this stainless steel safety ring locks the blade in the open position (safety of use). Today, the Virobloc also locks the blade in the closed position (safety of transport).
