Wood
95% of the wood used to make the handles comes from sustainably managed French forests. There is no excessive deforestation and no air pollution during long transport – all of this means less strain on nature. The main wood supplier has its forests in the French Jura region and is of course PEFC certified.
Handle
Beech wood is most often used to make Opinel handles. Beechwood, originating from France, is hard, durable and easy to work with. The handles have a uniform appearance and their light color ranges from yellow to pink. They are characterized by the presence of numerous small dark lines.
Stainless steel
The choice of steel for the blade is very important, as it is one of the determining materials of the knife itself. It determines the durability and quality of the blade itself. For these Opinel knives, stainless martensitic steel of European origin with a hardness of 55-57 HRC was chosen. The blade of these knives offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear), which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, without the need for re-sharpening. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel has the advantage that it does not require any special maintenance under normal conditions of use. However, it can reach its limits, especially during prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acid, salt water, aggressive detergent, etc.).
Opinel - a design icon
The story of the now iconic Opinel brand begins in the 19th century, when merchant Victor-Amédée Opinel learned to forge nails during his travels and subsequently founded his forge in France. After his death, his son Daniel took over the craft, becoming the local farmers' "sharps maker" because the blades of his sickles and scythes were widely acclaimed as the sharpest possible. However, the real Opinel - a folding pocket knife - had to wait a while for its discovery. Daniel Opinel's eldest son, Joseph, decided to follow in his father's footsteps and, driven by artistic passion, combined handcrafting with the most modern technology at the time and created a small miracle. The year was 1890 and the Opinel folding pocket knife saw the light of day, a knife loved from day one and passed down from generation to generation. The knife, which over the years has gained hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, has become a common part of many households and, in a way, one of the symbols of all of France...
Nowadays, the company produces not only legendary folding outdoor knives, but also has a sophisticated kitchen program, including forged kitchen knives; today you can also buy stainless steel cutlery and steak knives from the Opinel brand.
