The Limited Edition No.08 Sampo features a handle, crafted with Curly Birch wood sustainably sourced from Finland.

In Finish mythology the “Sampo” is a magical object that ensures wealth to the people who possess it, but no one really knows what Sampo looks like.

A subspecies of the silver birch, that grows in the Nordic countries, curly birch is particular to the Karelia region of Finland. With extreme growing conditions that modify the wood, the tree twists as it grows. Layers of soft and hard wood grow unevenly, creating the distinctive swirling, marble-like patterns of the wood grain.

Curly birch wood ranges from pale yellow to light brown, with a very unique appearance of swirling patterns.

Due to the unique nature of Curly Birch wood, veining may appear differently on knives.

This knife includes a custom designed gift box.

Technical Characteristics

  • Blade Length: 8 cm
  • Handle: Curly Birch Wood
  • Product Code: 002546

Martensitic Stainless Steel

Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in Opinel blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent ...).

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).

Cleaning

Hand wash only. With your Opinel open, run warm water on the blade and wipe with a sponge and washing-up liquid. Do not immerse your knife in water, as this could warp the wooden handle. Take care not to soak the wooden handle. Dry the blade before closing.(this is not necessary for plastic handles).
