In Finnish mythology, the Sampo is a magical object that brings wealth to the people who possess it. But nobody really knows what this object looks like... Perhaps it looks like an Opinel?

Discover the N°08 Sampo pocket knife: a buffed handle in curly birch from Finnish forests and a 8.5 cm stainless steel blade with a mirror finish. Curly birch is a subspecies of silver birch found in northern countries. Its veining is slightly speckled, with small waves. So it's never the same from one knife to another.

Features:

  • Curly birch handle (Please note, handle pattern will vary from the knife pictured here)
  • 8.5cm Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel blade with mirror finish
  • Virobloc safety ring

Opinel

Originated as a ‘working man’s knife’, now a unique and timeless household object passed through generation to generation.

Invented by Joseph Opinel in 1890, a then budding photographer based in the Savoie region of France with a passion for new machines and innovative technologies.

The Opinel knife was created for its simplicity, robustness and functionality.  Over 130 years later, this distinctive wooden-handle knife has a range of accessories and blades available to suit your lifestyle, whether that's kitchen use, outdoor foresting or extreme adventures.

The beech wood handle is a tribute to the pocket knife's traditional design. Used as a paring knife, a serrated knife, a peeler and a vegetable knife.  

If your use is for extreme terrain and weather conditions, there is also a polymer handle to guarantee good resistance to water and very high temperatures.

The Opinel knife is a design icon, remaining unchanged for over a century. Opinel was recognised by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1985 as one of the 100 best designed items in the world.
