Opinel knives are the ambassadors of pocket knives: practical, foldable and sharp. What's more, they're French knives, so be chauvinistic and say yes to French quality!
Formed over several decades of know-how and passion, Opinel cutlers from Savoie are now part of the French heritage, thanks to the efficiency and simplicity of the knives they produce.
The Effilés range embodies all these qualities! It presents reliable, durable knives for everyday use, while having modernized the traditional design of this famous knife.
The blade
The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, renowned for its strength and ease of maintenance. It has a high carbon content (approx. 0.4%) for enhanced strength.
The blade of this particular series is totally tapered: it's much thinner than a traditional blade. Cutting is all the more precise, and you can tackle the lifting of your fish fillets effortlessly.
The handle
The handle is made from olive wood, a mythical Mediterranean tree with agolden-yellow appearance and dense, sinuous grain. This material is pleasant to the touch and has a beautiful polish. It has been varnished to protect it from marks and humidity.
The handle has a slot for the blade.
The ferrule
The rotating ferrule is a very important element: it forms the junction between the blade and the handle. It locks the blade in place when folded or unfolded, ensuring safe use.
The refined styling of this knife adds an extra touch of elegance. The crowned hand logo on the blade certifies its provenance.
