The mountains of Savoie, where Opinel was founded, take centre stage with the N°08 Le Savoyard.
The knife has a varnished beechwood handle decorated with the Savoyard coat of arms, a red leather lace, an 8.5 cm stainless-steel blade and a Virobloc double safety ring.

On 26 April 2023, an event was held at the El Taller del Lago restaurant in Madrid's Casa del Campo park. Opinel, accompanied by Spanish press agency Acción y Comunicación, which organised the event, was on hand to present the Picnic+ set and the No.10 corkscrew and bottle opener during two meals in a rural setting. The first was with 14 journalists and the second was with 10 influencers.
Over the course of the year, the N°10 corkscrew has been transformed into the N°10 corkscrew and bottle opener.
Located at the end of the handle, the steel rod is used for opening bottles, but can also suspend or hang the knife.
Now you can open a bottle of beer just like a bottle of wine, while also cutting up cheese, fruit and more: what a pleasure!
Too much alcohol can harm your health. Drink in moderation.

ISPO is the international outdoor trade fair held in Munich, and the folding ranges were the main focus of the show.
Opinel has been taking part for the last ten years. It's one of the best annual opportunities to meet up with our distributors, not to mention a chance to recruit distributors and new retail customers.
Of course, the show also helps us to win the loyalty of our partners, including buyers from the major outdoor chains who come to see what's new.
In 2021, Opinel became a partner of the Terre Sauvage Festival! This is an event that's mindful, intelligent, friendly and celebratory, as well as a place to meet and talk about nature.
The second event took place in Névache on 7, 8 and 9 July 2023. Opinel was honoured to take part, equipping the wood workshop to teach children how to prune branches and make beautiful creations with what nature has to offer.
Mission Retail Design
What better way to start the autumn than with something new?
During the summer of 2023, work was carried out on the Opinel reception area and showroom. The company's premises have been completely renovated and redesigned by Mission Retail Design to align with the brand's identity.
From 7 to 11 September 2023, Opinel's new products were presented at the Maison & Objet trade fair at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre.
This year, our "Médailles du Travail" awards evening was a pétanque party!
On Thursday 23 September, staff were divided into 40 teams for a fun-filled competition.
Each was given a trio of OBUT boules with the Opinel logo. It was a coming together of two iconic French brands synonymous with good times and sharing!
Another big WELL DONE to the winners!
For the occasion, Opinel USA decided to create content for our various social networks.
Opinel USA invited you to spend some time with friends and family at a workshop where you could pick and customise pretty pumpkins.
This creative day took place in New Buffalo, Michigan, for the end-of-year seminar. This is an opportunity for the US team to get together for a day, as they regularly work from home.
Opinel's commitment to CSR means reducing its environmental footprint. So its products are sustainable, have a limited impact and make sense.
With its new blister packs, Opinel has reduced its plastic consumption by 80%, i.e. 10 tonnes less per year. We are also switching from non-recycled PVC to the most recyclable plastic, PET. Recycling is facilitated by the design of the blister pack, whose different materials (FSC cardboard and PET shell) can be separated for recycling.
Reducing the size of blister packs not only reduces the consumption of materials, but also cuts energy expenditure on transport and storage.
Another anti-plastic packaging initiative is a new method of grouping products in batches: 100% recyclable paper strips replace shrink-wrap plastic film.
Après Amour, France, Escapade...The "Edition" collection pays tribute to what matters, to life, to our inspiration, to the whole... To Nature!
Every two years, we release a limited edition with handles designed by artists.
This year, three artists working on plant, animal or organic designs were selected. Edible wild plants, aromatic herbs, mushrooms and floral arrangements grace and enrich this new edition.
For the occasion, the three artists spent a day in Normandy at the home of farmer and forager Pierre-Edouard Robine, picking edible wild plants and creating a group fresco. The fresco now covers a section of Pierre-Edouard's shed.
