Opinel N°08 Horizon Khaki – versatile outdoor folding knife

Opinel N°08 Horizon Khaki is a reliable and versatile folding outdoor knife designed for hiking, camping, trekking, mountain biking, canoeing and everyday outdoor adventures.

Combining Opinel’s traditional French craftsmanship with modern outdoor features, the Horizon range is designed for users who need a lightweight, practical and durable tool for use in changing outdoor conditions.

8 cm stainless steel blade

The knife features an 8 cm stainless steel blade offering excellent cutting performance, good edge retention and enhanced resistance to corrosion.

The stainless steel construction makes the blade easier to maintain compared with carbon steel versions, making it suitable for outdoor activities where the knife may be exposed to moisture.

Reinforced polyamide handle

The ergonomic handle is made from reinforced polyamide with 30% fibreglass, providing excellent durability while keeping the knife lightweight.

The handle is designed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions and is resistant to:

• water and humidity;
• impact;
• extreme temperatures from -40°C to +80°C.

Integrated 110 dB safety whistle

A built-in 110 dB emergency whistle is integrated into the end of the handle. It provides an additional safety feature for hiking, trekking and outdoor activities where emergency signalling may be required.

Virobloc® safety locking system

The patented Virobloc® safety ring, invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, securely locks the blade during use.

The locking system allows the blade to be secured:

• in the open position for safe cutting;
• in the closed position for safer transport.
