Opinel with noble woods and characterful steel
This Opinel knife has been designed with carefully selected materials:
- 9cm blade in martensitic steel: good corrosion resistance and durability
Hardness
- 55-57 HRC: clean, easy-to-maintain cutting edge
- Yatagan shape: Opinel signature, blade shape inspired by Turkish swords for fluid cutting
- Nail Nick opening:
- a discreet notch on the blade for easy fingernail grip
- Virobloc® locking system: patented by Marcel Opinel in 1956, a rotating ring that locks the blade in the open or closed position.
The knife's handle is not to be outdone. It is handcrafted from a blend of three French woods:
- Sycamore maple: a noble wood, hard-wearing and robust, with a beautiful golden hue
- Ash: heat-treated, it is rot-proof and takes on an attractive caramel color
- Walnut: a durable and stable wood, with an elegant black hue
This blend of three woods creates a handle of striking contrast. Its design evokes snow-capped peaks, rocky ridges or sea waves, in a play of textures and elegant hues. It has been handcrafted in the Opinel workshop in France, highlighting thecraftsmanship of wood. In fact, each Opinel Cime Luxe is unique.
Care tips for a long life
To preserve the beauty of your Opinel de luxe, be sure to clean the blade by hand in lukewarm water, without immersing the handle. Dry carefully after each use. Avoid storing your knife in a damp place to avoid damaging the handle.
