The Opinel Essentials beech handle spreading knife quickly spreads softened butter, jam and pate over bread and crackers. The rounded blade doesn’t tear at soft bread. And the wide, spatula design with long handle lets you get right to the bottom of jars so none of your favourite spread goes to waste. The spreading knife is made from stainless steel with added chromium. The chromium increases the knife’s resistance to corrosion. The handle is made from durable French beechwood. The Opinel family started as blacksmiths in Savoie, France in 1800. Although famous for their folding penknives, their expertise in blade making naturally led to a future in kitchen knives. Using the same high-quality materials and over 200-years of know-how, you can now enjoy a touch of Opinel excellence every time you cook.
