Prepare whole fish cleanly and professionally with the Opinel Parallele beech handle filleting knife. The long, narrow blade is also ideal for separating meat from bone – great for a butterflied leg of lamb. The blade is made from a stainless steel called ‘X50CrMoV15’ that’s highly resistant to corrosion. So, your Opinel filleting knife will stay in top condition for years to come. The handle is made from durable French beechwood. Please note, this knife is hand wash only. 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. These knives are designed in Savoie, France and manufactured in Portugal.
