The wood from the handle is sourced from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.

The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance 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 re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent etc.)

Blade Length: 11cm

Materials: Stainless Steel (Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin), Wood
