The carbon steel used in the blades is the historical raw material of Opinel knives. Non-alloyed and with a high carbon content, it offers excellent hardness, guaranteeing a fine cutting edge, as well as a long lasting thread which is easily re-sharpened. Caution, however, if the carbon offers an exceptional edge, it also exposes them to corrosion. It is therefore not advisable to leave these knives exposed to moisture. Opt for hand-washing them rather than running them through a dishwasher and always wipe the blade down carefully before storing your knife. 

Another classic feature of Opinel knives is the ferrule that makes the junction between the blade and the handle. What makes this ferrule so special it has a rotating system on models ranging from No. 06 to No. 12. This rotating system enables the blade to be locked in position once it has been folded or unfolded. This means that you can use your knives in complete safety.

Made of beech wood from French farms (mainly from the Jura), the handle is another essential feature of Opinel knives. Due to the nature of the wood, each knife is unique: the knots, the nuances, the veining is different on each knife. They have been varnished to protect them from stains and moisture.

Finally, the cherry on top of the cake is the wooden box in which this set is sold. Its clear tone will bring a touch of warmth to the entire cabinet, and it will optimally protect all the blades thanks to its glass showcase which equally lets you present your knives for all to see! It also makes a perfect gift!
