Opinel Les Forgés 1890 knives exemplify the high quality of French knife making. Their masterful design by BIG-GAME studio, combined with their ancestral tradition of fine craftsmanship, will impress even the most discerning connoisseurs. This fully forged knife, which has been made entirely (blade, bolster, and tang simultaneously) from a single, X50CrMoV15 stainless steel rod, benefits from the grain flow and superior quality imparted by hot forging. It is noteworthy for its remarkable strength, perfect balance, durability, and excellent cutting ability. The beechwood handle with ergonomic design is an homage to the traditional pocket knife, and provides outstanding grip comfort. The Opinel Les Forgés 1890 Carving Knife is a straight blade for cutting roasts and poultry, slicing fruits and vegetables and is a great all-rounder.
