The ergonomics of the handle
Designed by Joseph Opinel, the handle of an Opinel
fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. Available in
several sizes, there is a model for everyone,
guaranteeing a good grip of the knife, and hence
comfort and safety.
The shape of the blade
known as the Yatagan blade, and already used several
centuries ago, is effective, precise, elegant.
A perfect cut
To achieve a perfect cutting quality, three parameters
need to be considered:
- the quality of the steel
- absolute compliance with heat treatment cycles
- sharpening of the blade. The latter operation must
give a perfect cut, edging only serves to remove any
"burrs".
The exclusivity of Virobloc
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety
ring was improved in 2000 on all the Opinel ranges. In
addition to locking of the blade in the open position
(safety of use), it is now possible to lock the blade
in the closed position (safety during carrying).
