Rather, it came with a thinner leather pouch than this appears to be and the hanger was made from shoe lacing rather than being a carabiner. The back side of the pouch did feature a leather belt loop. **Q: What is the blade lengh? doesnt look 8.5 in, plz advise Thx** A: Hello - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - Thank you for your inquiry! The length of the blade on the No. 8 is 8.5 cm - 3.35 in. I hope that help! **Q: What type packaging does this item come in?** A: Hello! Wendy from Tall Ridge here. We're the only authorized seller of Opinel on Amazon. This product comes from the manufacturer in a cardboard box. I hope that helps! **Q: Is it a genuine opinel?** A: Yes, looks original.
