When setting off on an adventure or for your favourite sporting activities, it is important to be equipped with high-quality tools. This is the case of the N08 Outdoor knife, a companion for nature- and adventure lovers. Its polymer handle is shockproof and resistant to water and extreme temperatures. It has an emergency whistle at the end of the handle. The durable blade features a serrated section for cutting cords, as well as a shackle spanner. The knife also features the Opinel safety ring called Virobloc, which secures the blade in the open and closed position.
Its very strong blade (2.5 mm thick) is serrated over 3.5 cm to cut natural or synthetic ropes and has a shackle key for 4 to 10 mm shackles. Its handle is water-resistant and whitstands extreme temperatures. It is equipped with a whistle.

Martensitic stainless steel – Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent …)
Fibreglass-reinforced polyamide – Withstands shocks, humidity, and extreme temperatures(-40C +80C). Pealess survival whistle functions in all weathers (110 decibels).
Virobloc Safety Ring – Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
