An elegant, durable handle

The handle of this knife is made of beech, a hard, resistant wood from French forests. This choice of material is not insignificant: beech is the wood Opinel most often uses for its handles. Covered with a varnish finish, this handle is protected against humidity and dirt, ensuring durability and a clean look.

Sharp, easy-to-sharpen blade

Opinelcarbon steel is an unalloyed steel with a high carbon content, which after heat treatment produces a good hardness that guarantees perfect edge retention, high resistance to wear and easy resharpening.

However, care and maintenance of this knife require particular attention due to the sensitivity of carbon steel to corrosion. We advise you not to leave the knife in a damp environment, such as a dishwasher, and to wipe the blade with a cloth after each use. An application of mineral oil to the blade is also recommended to preserve its quality and longevity.
