A classic and extremely lightweight model from the French company Opinel, which has been producing knives for more than 100 years. The thin blade with a flat grind is made of carbon steel, characterized by easy sharpening and long sharpness retention. Since carbon steel requires a bit more care, it should be thoroughly dried and wiped with olive oil after each use - following this simple tip, will protect our blade from rust.
The beech wood handle is superbly contoured and provides a firm, pleasant grip. Blade locking is provided by a swivel ring, patented in 1955 under the name virobloc.
This knife is an excellent item for people who appreciate tradition, functionality and simplicity. It is an excellent idea for an inexpensive, original gift.
