Blade Length - 8 cm

The Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade used in Opinel knives has been carefully selected for its high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical performance. This steel offers:

✅ Sharp and long-lasting cut

✅ High abrasion resistance, withstanding contact with hard materials such as ceramics

✅ Low maintenance – ideal for those looking for practicality in daily use

Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel does not require special care under normal conditions of use, making it perfect for outdoor adventures, kitchens or everyday use.

⚠️ Attention: in extremely aggressive environments (such as salt water, acidic products or detergents), it is recommended to clean and dry the blade after use to maintain its integrity for many years.

Virobloc® Security System

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the exclusive Virobloc ring is present in all models from No. 06 onwards. Made from stainless steel, it locks the blade open for greater safety during use – and can also lock the blade closed, offering protection during transport.

Sustainable Beech Wood Handle

The handle is made from PEFC certified beech wood, sourced from eco-managed forests in the Jura and Vercors regions of France. With a light color and characteristic natural veins, the wood is resistant, durable and receives a protective varnish against humidity and dirt, ensuring beauty and longevity.
