Opinel No. 8 Stainless Steel Knife

R 370.00

A quiet classic in our Tools & Tech collection, the Opinel No. 8 earns its place through honest design, natural materials, and decades of trusted use. While not made in South Africa, it’s been carried and loved by South African hikers and campers for generations—chosen for its simplicity, reliability, and remarkably sharp blade.

Handcrafted in France by Opinel, the No. 8 pairs a sustainably sourced beech wood handle with a stainless steel blade known for excellent corrosion resistance. Lightweight yet robust, it feels secure in the hand and performs effortlessly whether you’re slicing fruit at camp, preparing a trail meal, or tackling everyday tasks.

The iconic No. 8 is the most popular knife in the Opinel range—and for good reason. It’s a multi-purpose essential with a timeless form, thoughtful safety features, and a blade that holds its edge beautifully over time.

For Niya customers, we’ve selected the No. 8 stainless steel blade, available in three packaging options:

No packaging – the most environmentally conscious choice
Blister pack
Boxed with its own sheath

A tool designed to last, made from natural materials, and carried with intention—this is everyday utility, done well.
