With the No.08 Artist Limited Edition V  Cosmos  - a thematic limited edition collection released biannually - Opinel has collaborated with three artists whose work is a tribute to this universal fascination, to the silent connection between us and the stars.

The cosmos inspires scientists as much as artists, dreamers as much as explorers. It embodies the connection between humanity and the universe, between the tangible and the elusive. In the immensity of the sky, everyone searches for meaning, emotion, and light. On the No.08 hornbeam handles, three artists have translated that same quest into vivid interpretations of the cosmos.

The Jeanjean No.08 folding knife features a matte black PVD blade and Virobloc®.

Only  500  each available in the United States | Numbered blade | Made in France.

This knife  includes  a custom designed gift box.

" My illustration pays tribute to the Tiger constellation (Tigris in latin, named after the Tiger river) and the Mermaid constellation (near from Ceneus). The tiger, powerful and majestic, surrenders with grace in front of the mermaid, whose head radiates like the sun. The sun represents the sovereign star, the one which gives life and light everything around it. Majestic and inevitable, it looks after the universe, like the mermaid looks after the moon that she accompanies with a delicate gesture. Around them, the stars shape a protective constellation, like a celestial sanctuary where this encounter between terrestrial power and cosmic energy happens. "
