A classic and exceptionally lightweight model from the French manufacturer Opinel, which has been producing knives for almost 100 years. The thin flat-ground edge is made of Swedish carbon steel, which is ideal for grinding and sharpening thanks to its properties. Carbon steel is highly resistant to dulling. To maintain its best properties, carbon steel must be properly cared for. Therefore, it is advisable to dry the knife and wipe it with oil after each use. By following these principles, the blade will retain its original appearance and perfect sharpness.
A well-shaped beech wood handle guarantees a secure and comfortable grip. The blade lock consists of a rotating ring, which was patented back in 1955 under the name virobloc.
The knife will be useful to anyone looking for a traditional, simple, and functional knife. It is also an excellent candidate for an original gift.
