Opinel Slim Wood Beech Wood No.8 – a practical fillet knife that’s perfect for home use or your adventures on the go. Made with a stainless steel alloy and natural wood, this model features a foldable design and a locking mechanism to keep the blade securely in place. It boasts a long, narrow blade that bends well, making it easy to separate fish fillets from the bones. While it’s also suitable for cutting meat or cheese, it’s recommended to avoid tougher foods to protect the blade. This knife is convenient to store at home in your kitchen or to take along on any trip. The folding feature is definitely a plus.

Maintenance is a breeze since it's crafted from durable materials. The blade is rust-resistant (Sandvik 12C27 steel) and easy to sharpen. The handle is made from natural beech wood, lightweight, and has a special protective coating. Regarding its design, the handle narrows around the middle, and its axis tilts downwards towards the horizontal axis, allowing for a secure grip.

A standout feature of the Opinel No. 12 is its Viroblock locking mechanism. It's straightforward and, due to the absence of extra components, incredibly sturdy. Additionally, it locks the blade in two simultaneous positions: open and folded. This makes it a safe choice to carry with you while camping or any outdoor excursion.
