The traditional Opinel blade is of the yatagan type, with a raised tip and a curved profile designed for simple sharpening and good edge retention. The beechwood is carefully crafted and treated against harsh weather conditions.

Carbon steel offers good hardness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening, but requires basic care: dry the blade after use, avoid humid environments, and do not wash it in the dishwasher. It is also advisable to frequently oil the blade and the joint.

Ideal for

• Household tasks
• Carving and woodworking
• Adjusting models and miniatures
• As a letter opener

Manufactured in France since 1890, the Opinel range is characterized by its simple construction of few parts and the use of traditional materials.
