Opinel is the perfect representation of pocket knives: practical, foldable, sharp! What's more, these are French knives, so be chauvinistic and say yes to the tricolour quality of these timeless knives!
The fruit of decades of know-how and passion, Opinel cutlers are now part of our heritage, thanks to the efficiency and simplicity of the knives they produce.
TheOpinel 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:
The tapered blade
The blade is made of robust, easy-to-maintain stainless steel. This steel has a hardness of 56HRC on the Rockwell scale, which means the blade is solid with a fine, sharp edge.
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 your fish fillets effortlessly. It also has a mirror-effect polished finish, for even greater elegance.
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 Mediterranean olive wood, 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. A mythical tree of the Mediterranean basin, it has a very pleasant, soft feel. Varnished, it is protected from dirt.
This little opinel will become your adventure companion: you can take it camping, hunting or hiking, but it can also be used to cut your food efficiently!
Its refined styling adds an extra touch of elegance. The logo on the blade certifies its provenance!
