Technical specifications 

Martensitic stainless steel

Hardness 55-57 HRC.

Origin: Europe.

The blade offers high resistance to abrasion (wear), allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials such as ceramics before requiring resharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under normal conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when exposed to prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acid, salt water, detergents, etc.).

Handle 

Beech is the most common wood used in Opinel handles. PEFC-certified, it comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. It is hard, resistant and easy to work. It is homogeneous in appearance, with a light color ranging from yellow to pink. It can be recognized by the presence of numerous small dark lines. The handle is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt.
