Opinel knives are the perfect ambassadors for pocket knives: practical, foldable, sharp! What's more, they're French knives, so be a chauvinist and say yes to the French quality of these practical, timeless knives!
Formed over several decades of know-how and passion, Opinel cutlers are now anchored in French heritage and in the collective unconscious, thanks to the efficiency and simplicity of the knives they produce.
The Opinel tapered range embodies all these qualities! It presents reliable, long-lasting knives that will follow you on a daily basis, while having modernized the traditional design of this famous knife. However, this Opinel retains the main features of the classic model:
Tapered blade
The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, known for its strength and ease of maintenance. This steel has a high carbon content (approx. 0.4%), which further enhances its strength: 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.
Also, the blade of this particular series is totally tapered, i.e. much finer than the traditional one. Cutting will be all the more precise, and you'll be able to tackle the lifting of your fish fillets effortlessly.
The ferrule
The ferrule is a very important element: it forms the junction between the blade and the handle.
The ferrule is rotatable, meaning that 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.
The handle
Made from French beech, the handle features a large slot for the blade. Due to 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.
This opinel will become your adventure companion: you can take it camping, hunting, hiking, but it can also be used to cut your food with efficiency!
Its refined styling adds an extra touch of elegance. The crowned hand logo on the blade certifies its provenance!
