Table knife with powder color This set of four table knives has a romantic appearance thanks to the powder colors. But do not be mistaken in the innocent appearance, the knives have a very good cutting quality. The 11 cm long blade is made of Scandvik 12C27 steel. Thanks to anti-corrosion layer the knives do not require any special maintenance, although you are advised to wash the knives by hand. The handle is made of wood from French forests. By painting this handle, it protects against moisture and dirt. Opinel In 1890 the 18-year-old Joseph Opinel made a village in the French Alps a small pocket knife in the forge of his father. He sold these to the villagers and farmers, which quickly made the pocket knife very popular. So popular that Opinel started his own workshop. Opinel designed more pocket knives and after a few years started placing the logo on the blades. The brand continued to grow strongly and was also sold well abroad. After the introduction of kitchen and table knives Opinel became indispensable in many households worldwide. Today, the Opinel knives are still iconic.
