Opinel Inox. Nº 8 Ed. Limitada Damas Ziricote 003211

A union of Damascus steel and ziricote, a precious wood from Central America. A limited edition of 5,000 pieces, manufactured in France. The No. 08 Damas Ziricote pays tribute to Opinel’s craftsmanship by combining two exceptional materials: ziricote—a precious wood native to Central America—and stainless Damascus steel featuring unique patterns. With its natural grain, the ziricote displays variations in hue and pattern from one knife to another, ranging from lighter to darker tones. Consequently, every handle is different, making each knife unique. An anthracite ring with a titanium finish reinforces the knife's dark, refined aesthetic. The Damasteel® blade is produced using powder metallurgy: two powdered stainless alloys are compacted, sintered, and then forged to create a homogeneous material. After grinding and polishing, the blade undergoes an acid treatment that reveals the distinct steel layers and the characteristic "Sparse Twist™" pattern. This exceptional edition comes with a black lambskin sheath made in France and an explanatory booklet. The set is presented in an oak box featuring a leather cord.
