TECHNICAL FEATURES

• The Opinel in inlay.
• Each knife is unique, the mix of wood, the hand buffalage and the polyglace blade make these exceptional products the most precious of the Opinel range.

• Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its cutting edge and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its good hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40% which makes it possible to obtain a very satisfactory cutting edge without being sensitive to corrosion.
• The blade has a polygonal finish, the double polishing allows to obtain a mirror effect.
• The neck is made in our workshops according to the inlay process developed by the artist Bruno Chaperon. The assembly of four different wood species makes each handle unique: ebony, rosewood, violet wood, bocote, cocobolo, rosewood, zebra, boxwood, amaranth ... exceptional woods, with contrasting shades, for an original rendering, out of the 'ordinary.
• Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring equips all locking knives from N ° 06. Cut in stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety of use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (transport safety).
