The Savoyard folding knife: beechwood, carbon or stainless, and a lock ring that has not changed in generations.
Opinel has made its folding knives in Savoie since 1890. The No. 08 is the classic: beechwood handle, a blade in carbon or Sandvik stainless steel, and the Virobloc locking ring.
It is a picnic knife, a cheese knife, a mushroom knife. Chefs carry them because they cut well, cost little, and sharpen in minutes.
