Wood
95% of the wood used to make the handles comes from sustainably managed French forests. There is no excessive deforestation or air pollution during long transport - all of which puts less strain on nature. The main timber supplier has its forest areas in the Jura region of France and is of course PEFC certified.
Handle
This light-coloured hornbeam wood with a small number of veins comes from French forests and is ideal for using colour variations. The handle is lacquered to protect it against moisture and dirt.
Stainless steel
The choice of steel for the blade is very important as it is one of the defining materials of the knife itself. It determines the durability and quality of the blade itself. For these Opinel knives, the stainless steel chosen is a martensitic steel of European origin with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. The blade of these knives offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion (wear) resistance, allowing 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 of requiring no special maintenance under normal conditions of use. Nevertheless, it can run into its limits, especially when in contact with aggressive environments (acid, salt water, aggressive detergent, etc.) for long periods of time.
Opinel - a design icon
The story of the now iconic Opinel brand begins in the 19th century, when the merchant Victor-Amédée Opinel learned to forge nails during his travels and subsequently set up his forge in France. After his death, his son Daniel took over the craft and became the "maker of sharp objects" for the local farmers, as the blades of his sickles and scythes were renowned far and wide as the sharpest possible. But the real Opinel - the closing pocket knife - would have to wait a little longer to be discovered. Daniel Opinel's eldest son, Joseph, decided to follow in his father's footsteps and, driven by an artistic passion...he combined hand craftsmanship with the most advanced technology of the day to create a small miracle. The year was 1890 and the Opinel pocket knife saw the light of day, a knife loved from day one and handed down from generation to generation. The knife, which over the following years won hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, became a staple in many households and a bit of a symbol of France...
Nowadays, the company not only produces legendary outdoor knives, but also has a sophisticated kitchen program, including forged kitchen knives; you can also buy stainless steel cutlery and steak knives from Opinel today.
