The Opinel N°08 Animalia Box Set is a sophisticated tribute to the natural world, masterfully blending artistry with utility.

Housed in a beautifully crafted wooden storage box that echoes the same intricate engravings, this set is a definitive statement of Opinel's commitment to heritage, sustainability, and superior craftsmanship.

Best For Serious collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and gift seekers looking for an exceptional piece of functional art. This collection is perfect for those who value both the rugged performance of a high-quality stainless steel blade and the aesthetic beauty of artisanal woodwork.

Key Features

• Distinctive Animalia Engravings: The set includes six unique designs—trout, dog, hare, elk, mountain goat, and boar—each rendered with precision on the oak handles. The matching wooden storage box completes the set, making it an extraordinary centrepiece for any collection.

• Responsibly Sourced Oak Handles: Crafted from oak harvested in ecologically managed French woodlands within the Alpine and Jura regions, these handles represent a conscious balance of environmental stewardship and high-quality material sourcing.

• High-Performance Sandvik Steel: Each blade is forged from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. With a hardness rating of 55-57 HRC, these knives offer an exceptional cutting edge that is highly resistant to corrosion and requires minimal maintenance during your outdoor travels.

• Patented Safety Locking: Utilising the reliable locking mechanism developed in 1955, these knives provide complete security, allowing you to lock the blade firmly in the open or closed position for safe operation and transport.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
