Opinel knives have all the hallmarks of an everyday workhorse that make them an EDC favorite. They’re inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to carry. Not to mention, they have a rust-resistant blade with enough length for precision slicing, a unique locking collar, and lightweight wood handles that drop the weight while still providing great grip. The No8 Trekking knife adds a few more features that make it a great addition to a weekend or bug out bag.
Starting with the blade, the No8 Trekking knife retains the signature Opinel slim drop point blade. At 3.25” and made from resilient 12c27 Sandvik Stainless steel, it’s an ideal slicer when you need long cuts or for food prep. The Trekking knife series features a few handle colors besides the usual tan/yellow, so matching it to your EDC’s color scheme is easy. Also unique to the series is a leather loop on the No8’s handle, giving you more options for pocket retrieval or attaching it to your bag for use as an outdoor knife.
Opinel’s knives are simple and effective additions to any EDC. With the Trekking knife series, they’ve added just the right options to make the No8 and even more versatile performer both in and outdoors. Pick one up in your choice of color from Amazon at the link below.
