Opinel VRI N°08 Le Tour De France Turistkniv

Folding knife from Opinel Tradition Colours – limited Tour de France series. With its stainless steel blade, this knife is corrosion-resistant, does not require any particular maintenance and ensures excellent cutting quality. The multi-coloured version of tradition: the charming wooden handle is now adorned with colour. From deep nuances to the most intense colours, including soft and pastel shades, our coloured pocket knives are both striking and collectable. Everyone can choose their colour to reinvent tradition. Yatagan blade: The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding. Blade length: 8,5 cm. Handle: Coming from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt. 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). Colour: Yellow
