Opinel N°08 Chaperon Knife

The opinel-n08-chaperon-knife is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design, brought to life by the renowned French artisan Bruno Chaperon. Each handle is carefully carved from a single piece of exquisite African wood, creating a unique handle with natural variations in colour and grain. Assembled at Opinel’s prestigious workshop in Chambéry, this knife combines artisanal expertise with high-quality materials for an elegant and durable cutting tool.

Featuring an 8.5cm blade made from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, the knife boasts a distinctive Yatagan shape with a flawless mirror polish that enhances both its aesthetic appeal and cutting performance. The blade’s sharpness and resilience make it suitable for a wide range of tasks, whether in the kitchen, outdoors, or for creative projects. Safety is prioritised with the inclusion of the Virobloc® locking ring, which firmly secures the blade in both open and closed positions for reliable use.

This knife arrives beautifully presented in a stylish card gift box, making it an ideal choice for gifting or personal collection. Combining premium materials, functional design, and artisanal flair, it is a versatile companion for chefs, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors alike who value both form and function in their tools.
