Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade

The Sandvik stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its excellent hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, which allows for a very satisfactory cutting edge without being susceptible to corrosion.

Natural varnished hornbeam handle

The hornbeam wood comes from French forests. It's a white wood with little grain, ideal for applying colors without altering them. The handle is varnished for better protection against moisture and dirt.
