It features a very sharp and durable 8.5 cm stainless steel blade.
The wooden handle is comfortable in the hand, the knife is equipped with a leather lanyard and the Virobloc® safety system, keeping the blade locked open or closed.
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is an optimized grade designed to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and superior mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion resistance (wear resistance), allowing 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 conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it may reach its limits when exposed to prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acid, salt water, detergent agents, etc.).
