Where the White Tiger and Mermaid constellations meet

No. 08 Cosmos Dalkhafine showcases the meeting of earthly power and cosmic energy: the tiger, strong and majestic, bows before the mermaid whose head shines like the sun. The sun represents the sovereign star that watches over the universe, just as the mermaid watches over the moon.

This French-made pocket knife features an 8.5 cm stainless steel blade and a PEFC-certified hornbeam handle with decoration added using the sublimation technique. It is accompanied by its box and postcard.
A limited edition of 8,200, numbered blades.

Dalkhafine is a French artist who specialises in illustration, motion design, screen printing, painting and clothing. Her world is colourful and inspired by nature.

Technical specifications

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 ...).

8.5 cm

PEFC-certified hornbeam comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. This white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.

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).
