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?
The Limited-Edition N°08 Sampo pocketknife showcases a buffed handle in curly birch from Finnish forests and an 8.5 cm stainless steel blade with a mirror polish finish.
Curly birch is a subspecies of silver birch found in northern countries. Its veining is slightly speckled, with small waves, meaning no two handles are the same.
This N°08 is the perfect addition to your collection and would make a wonderfully original gift for the Opinel fan.
Add your personalised engraving to the blade for an unforgettable gift.
