Opinel - Colorama - No. 07 - Cyan

8 cm stainless steel blade

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