Sandvik Stainless Steel
Sandvik 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 susceptible to corrosion.

< strong>8.5 cm Yatagan
The name Yatagan originally designates a saber used in Turkey. In creating his closing knife, Joseph Opinel designed a so-called Yatagan-shaped blade (curved at the tip) and a domed profile that guarantee incomparable cutting quality.

Double safety system Virobloc
All Opinel folding knives are equipped with the patented Virobloc system with the exception of the Tradition small sizes. Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, this safety ring in stainless steel allows the blade to be locked in the open position (safety of use). Today, the Virobloc also allows the blade to be locked in the closed position (transport security).
