Description

The famous Savoie stainless steel knives are an ideal companion for outside activities, whether it’s a picnic, bivouacking, barbecuing or hiking. The blades are made from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel which is corrosion-resistant, doesn’t require any particular maintenance and provides excellent cutting quality.

 

The blade has adopted a Yatagan shape, inspired by a traditional Turkish sabre. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures high strength and allows efficient regrinding. The handle is made from olive wood – a hard wood that has a yellow to orange appearance and a dense veining. Soft to the touch with a nice polish.

 

This pencil box makes a beautiful gift by offering the #08 olive wood folding knife and Alpine sheath in a wooden case closed by a plexiglass cover.

Brand

Opinel

The Opinel folding knife is a popular everyday item whose aesthetics and functionality have won over generations of users. Invented in 1890 by Joseph Opinel, on the banks of a stream overlooked by the Savoie Mountains, its simplicity, robustness and functionality make it a noble tool. It has remained unchanged for over a century, with a design that is one of the most successful of all time. For this reason, Opinel was recognised by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1985 as one of the best-designed items in the world alongside the Porsche 911 and the Rolex watch.   Opinel's extensive range goes beyond their traditional carbon steel folding knives to include a stainless steel range, gardening and outdoor cooking knives, multi-functional folders, a Junior range for children and a Luxury line-up with handles crafted from exotic woods and horn bone.   As well as the Outdoor folding knife range, Opinel also manufacture a large collection of Kitchen knives to aid in food preparation and Table knives for everyday dining. Like the Outdoor range, their Kitchen and Table knives are manufactured using high quality steels and handle materials to provide years of comfortable and reliable use.
