The blade shape departs from the classic Yatagan Style of most Opinels and resembles a narrow clip point. The front half of the cutting edge is plain and the rear half is serrated. Rather than the usual nail nick, there is an elongated slot that acts as both nail nick and shackle key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the No.08 Outdoor is untraditional in appearance, the classic Virobloc locking system designed by Marcel Opinel in 1955 remains unchanged. The Virobloc will lock the blade in both the open and closed positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is made from fiber-reinforced polymer for high visibility, grip, water-resistance, and cold-resistance. Into the pommel is integrated a 110dB whistle and lanyard loop, and a small lanyard is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions are 11cm folded and 19cm deployed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife may be converted into a fork or spoon with the \u003cspan class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-t c2-u c2-3 c2-77 c2-15 c2-12 c2-78 c2-7b\"\u003eOpinel Picnic+ Cutlery Insert Set\u003c\/span\u003e.

To make the matter even less universal, some prefer to sharpen at home while others sharpen in the field, so the \"best\" sharpening tools will necessarily differ.
