In the center, an antique vase which could be seen as the receptacle of the universe. The solar face in the middle, ornamented with the Yin and the Yang, symbolises the universal balance. The phases of the moon, arranged in a circle, remind of the eternal cycle of time. The surrounding geometric designs, braided and intertwined, suggest the idea of a cosmic web where each element is linked to a broader all. This illustration plays on duality: from afar, it’s a classic etching evocating of the ancient times; from close, contemporary symbols arise, mixing tradition and modernity.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition each numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBlade Length: 3.28 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Metal: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePVD blade and Viroblo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1.4 oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA card with the maker's story is included with purchase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker's Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpinel\u003cbr\u003eSavoie, France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in 1890\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe Opinel No. 8 knife was invented by namesake Joseph Opinel at the age of 18.
