These traditional paring knives quickly become essential kitchen equipment for cutting, slicing and peeling. The blades are manufactured in modified Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel with high carbon content for excellent cutting quality and good resistance to corrosion. The handles are made from tinted hornbeam covered in a protective varnish for excellent resistance to water. The colours available are blue, yellow, red and green. Since 1890, generations of Opinel cutlers have forged metal in a traditional style to bring authentic quality knives. Loved by the greatest artists and the most famous adventurers and adopted throughout the world as a design reference, it has become a natural extension to the human hand. Nowadays, from the garden to the table, Opinel is the best everyday tool.
