The Santoku knife belongs to the Classic collection - a set of kitchen tools from Opinel. The tool is distinguished by simplicity of form and high quality of materials and workmanship.
Opinel Parallele Chef's kitchen knife - strong steel.
The head of the knife is made of martensitic X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with high chromium content. Forged from such material, the blade cuts efficiently, is hard, resistant to wear and corrosion, and its cutting edge can be easily sharpened with an ordinary kitchen sharpener.
X50CrMoV15 steel is perfect for kitchen knives, and compensates for the weaker retention of the cutting edge with ease and speed of sharpening and above-average cutting performance.
Opinel Parallele Chef's - wooden handle
The handle of the knife is made of natural beech wood. Thanks to its careful contouring, it fits well in the hand and provides high comfort.
However, the wood requires care. Therefore, the manufacturer does not recommend washing the knife in the dishwasher, and also suggests not to expose the handle to prolonged contact with water, and after washing, wipe it thoroughly and dry it.
The Opinel Parallele Chef's knife is an item for people who appreciate tradition, functionality and simplicity. It is an excellent idea for an inexpensive, original gift.
