The practical duo that sees the big picture
You don’t need an army of knives to prepare a meal! The Opinel Juste Duo Set brings together two complementary shapes, designed in collaboration with the Big-Game studio: a paring knife for precise tasks and a santoku knife for larger cuts. Made in France, this duo handles everyday tasks, from peeling fruit to preparing vegetables, fish, or boneless meats. Its poppy-red color adds a touch of blue to your kitchen.
The Right Blade for Every Task
With its short, pointed blade, the paring knife is ideal for peeling, trimming, and precise work. The santoku—whose name refers to its “three uses”—complements the set for slicing vegetables, cutting boneless meats, or mincing fish. Its wide blade also helps gather ingredients to transfer them to a bowl.
- X50CrMoV15 stainless steel for both blades, with a hardness of 58 HRC
- Rounded blade spine for a comfortable feel under your fingers
- Ergonomic handles made of recycled polypropylene and 30% fiberglass
- Curved V-Grip transition zone, for a “pinch” grip and better control
- Push or rocking cuts with the santoku, depending on the desired technique
The thumb and index finger can be placed close to the blade to guide the cut with precision. This Opinel kitchen knife is suitable for cooks just learning the basics as well as those who are already seasoned in the kitchen. A paring knife and a santoku: enough to cover a good portion of the menu, without turning your drawer into a cutlery collection.
A few tips for care
To preserve the sharpness of the blades, use a wooden or soft-surfaced cutting board and avoid hard surfaces. Wash the knives by hand after use, then dry them thoroughly. When storing them, keep them separate from other utensils or place them in a suitable knife block; this will better protect their edges and keep them ready for the next cut.
