Sheath — Opinel

The Sheath collection by Opinel brings together the brand's iconic folding knives offered with their wooden gift box and a transport sheath. It is the gift version of the Opinel range: refined presentation and protection for daily use and foraging alike.

What makes the Sheath collection distinctive

Sheath highlights two uses: gift (presentation in a wooden box) and field (transport sheath at the belt or in a bag). The knives concerned are Opinel's iconic models — the n°8 and the n°8 mushroom — manufactured in Chambéry in the purest Savoyard tradition.

• Wooden gift box for presentation
• Transport sheath for outdoor use
• Stainless steel blades, wooden handles

Choosing within the Sheath collection

What makes the Sheath collection special?

It is the "gift and field" version of Opinel's catalogue: the wooden box acts as a presentation case for gifting, the transport sheath secures wear at the belt or in a backpack for fishing, hiking or foraging. A complete answer for those looking for a beautiful gift for nature lovers.

Standard n°8 knife or mushroom knife?

The standard n°8 is versatile: spreading, cutting, peeling, DIY. The n°8 mushroom features a specific curved blade to cut the mushroom's stem and a boar-bristle brush to clean it without damaging the cap. Choose according to the recipient's main use.

Which handle: olive or other wood?

Olive wood is the most sought-after noble wood of the Opinel range: unique grain on each piece, warm colour. It is the "premium gift" choice. Other woods (beech, walnut) may be available depending on the references on AZ boutique.

How do I care for an Opinel knife?

The stainless steel blade withstands washing with water and immediate drying. The wooden handle should not be immersed: dry wiping is enough. A light kitchen oil (walnut, linseed) can be applied to the wood once or twice a year to nourish it.
