The Opinel Folding Pruning/Harvest Knife Stainless Steel No. 8 is an indispensable tool for gardeners, farmers, and foragers alike. While celebrated as a pruning knife, its versatility makes it ideal for a variety of garden and harvesting tasks.

Equipped with Opinel’s signature Virobloc safety ring, the knife locks securely when open or closed, ensuring safety during handling and storage.
