Opinel Parallèle Chef's knife n°118 20cm blade beechwood handle

Opinel is a French cutlery manufacturer based in the Savoy region of France, famous for over 120 years for its flagship product: the Opinel folding knife. Family know-how, handed down from generation to generation, now forms the heritage of this company, which is still run by the Opinel family.

This Opinel n°118 chef's knife is part of the Parallèle range, a simple, streamlined and effective range in which beech wood is highlighted.

The smooth, 20cm-long, 3mm-thick blade is made of X50CrMoV15 steel. This stainless alloy is corrosion-resistant, robust and extremely sharp. It enables you to mince, chop and slice all types of food with a simple rocking motion.

The handle is made of light-colored beech wood, solidified by 2 rivets. It is soft to the touch and ergonomically designed for ease of handling and comfort of use. Beech wood is the most commonly used wood for Opinel handles, as it is very resistant and easy to work, and can be distinguished by small dark lines and by its color, which oscillates between yellow and light pink. The handle is varnished for added protection against moisture and dirt.

Our cleaning tip: make sure you don't put the entire handle under water to prevent water from seeping in, and dry it with a soft cloth immediately after washing. We don't recommend putting your knife in the dishwasher, to preserve its good looks and long-lasting effectiveness.
