Wood, simplicity and efficiency, these are all qualities that Opinel kitchen knives combine. This collection is particularly interesting if you are setting up your first kitchen and are looking for quality knives that you will appreciate as a cook. The handle is made of beech wood, which has excellent mechanical properties. The beech handles are varnished with a lacquer that has been very carefully selected to refine the beech wood itself.
Wood 95% of the wood used to make the handles comes from sustainably managed French forests. There is no excessive deforestation and no air pollution during long transport - all of which puts less strain on nature. The main timber supplier has its forest areas in the Jura region of France and is of course PEFC certified.
Stainless steel The choice of steel is very important as it is one of the most important materials for the knife itself. It determines the durability and quality of the blade itself. For the Opinel Parallèle knives, high-quality 50CrMoV15 stainless steel has been selected. All knives in this collection are made from a single piece of this pressed stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and ensures a perfect cut.
Opinel - a design icon The story of the now iconic Opinel brand begins in the 19th century, when the merchant Victor-Amédée Opinel learned to forge nails during his travels and subsequently set up his forge in France. After his death, his son Daniel took over the craft and became the "maker of sharp objects" for the local farmers, as the blades of his sickles and scythes were renowned far and wide as the sharpest possible. But the real Opinel - the closing pocket knife - would have to wait a little longer to be discovered. Daniel Opinel's eldest son, Joseph, decided to follow in his father's footsteps and, driven by an artistic passion...he combined hand craftsmanship with the most advanced technology of the day to create a small miracle. The year was 1890 and the Opinel pocket knife saw the light of day, a knife loved from day one and handed down from generation to generation. The knife, which over the following years won hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, became a staple in many households and a bit of a symbol of France... Nowadays, the company not only produces legendary outdoor knives, but also has a sophisticated kitchen program, including forged kitchen knives; you can also buy stainless steel cutlery and steak knives from Opinel today.
