Opinel - N°08 - Azimut - Edition Escapade by Jeremy Groshens - Knife

Escapade is the new limited edition collection by Opinel in collaboration with the tattoo artist Jérémy Groshens. The collection reinterprets the iconic knife N°08 on the theme of travel, understood as the desire to go on an adventure, with three graphics that take up landscapes and icons of nature: Azimut, Bivouac, Elevation.

Azimut, recalls mountain cartography. The contour lines on the handle and black blade recall the Aiguilles d'Arves chain in Savoie, Massif de la Moriana, Opinel's homeland.

Bivouac mixes tattoo technique with elements of the outdoors. In his patchwork graphics, natural aspects typical of mountain vegetation coexist in a graphic style of fine strokes and pointillism.

Elevation is inspired by Japanese prints that celebrate landscapes and sacred places. The magnificence of the majestic peaks is immortalized through minimal graphics with flowing lines and delicate gradient colors.

Available 7600 pieces for each model, these knives have a hornbeam wood handle with a numbered 12C27M stainless steel blade and are sold in a gift box with matching graphics.
