Features :

• Blade length: 8.5 cm
• The traditional Opinel blade is called the Yatagan blade. Its shape is inspired by a Turkish saber, with a raised tip. The blade is ground to an exclusive domed profile which guarantees the robustness of the blade and allows efficient resharpening.
• The stainless steel of OPINEL blades is an optimized grade to guarantee both high resistance to corrosion and high mechanical performance. The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring resharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary use conditions, unlike carbon steel. However, it may encounter its limits when placed in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent, etc.).
• Beech is the wood most used for manufacturing Opinel handles. Coming from French farms, it is hard, resistant and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous small dark lines. The handle is varnished to be better protected against humidity and dirt.
