Each piece in this set features 3 elements that are inseparable from opinel knives:
The blade
The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its strength and ease of maintenance. It has a high carbon content (approx. 0.4%), which makes it even more solid: the edge of the blade will be all the finer and sharper.
It then undergoes a special 2-stage heat treatment:
- tempering: the blade is heated to over 800°C and then rapidly cooled down.
- tempering: the blade is heated again, and then cooled very slowly.
Then comes the sharpening: an Opinel is sharpened at an angle of around 40° to ensure that the edge does not deteriorate too quickly, but is still very effective. This operation is carried out by hand.
The blade is also called Yatagan, thanks to its particular shape inspired by a Turkish saber, with the point raised. It is ground to a curved profile, guaranteeing efficient resharpening.
The ferrule
The ferrule is a very important element: it forms the junction between the blade and the handle.
On models n°06 to n°12, the ferrule rotates, i.e. a new steel ring has been added to the one holding the handle and blade together. This rotating ferrule locks the blade when folded or unfolded. So you can use your knives in complete safety.
Opinel handle
Made of beechwood from French farms (mainly in the Jura region), it features a large slot for the blade. Because of the nature of the wood, each knife is unique: the knots, nuances and veining will be different each time.
It has been varnished to protect it from marks and humidity.
Their rustic style adds an extra touch of authenticity. The crowned hand as a logo on the blades certifies the provenance of the pieces!
Finally, the wooden box is both simple and effective. Its light tone brings a touch of warmth to the whole box, and provides optimum protection for all the blades. You can give it as a gift with your eyes closed!
