The Opinel knife equipped with an 8.5cm stainless steel blade promises a perfect cut and easy maintenance. The olive wood handle of French origin is hard, resistant and offers a pleasant grip. Its Virobloc safety ring is available to block the blade when it is either in the open or closed position. A perfect gift: a beautiful olive knife and its Alpine sheath.

Characteristics of the Opinel knife with olive wood handle:

• Blade length: 8.5cm
• Olive tree handle: The olive tree is the mythical tree of the Mediterranean. Olive wood is pleasant to the touch and has a beautiful polish. With a golden yellow to orange appearance, it often has dense and sinuous veining.
  
• Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment which gives it its good hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, which makes it possible to obtain a very satisfactory cutting edge without being sensitive to corrosion.
