Handy, efficient, complementary. OPINEL's keywords for this kitchen knife made of carbon steel. Please clean and dry the knife immediately after use. Beech wood is a hardwood that is considered to be durable and easy to work with. OPINEL uses beech wood from French farms.

In 1567, the French monarch at the time decreed that every cutler had to affix an emblem to his products, which guaranteed origin and quality.

In 1909, Joseph OPINEL chose La Main Couronnée as such a symbol. The beneficent hand is that of Saint Jean-Baptiste, which can be found on the coat of arms of the nearest town. The crown in the emblem was intended to recall the status of the Duchy of Savoy.

Why an office knife if it is designed for the kitchen? In times gone by, food was prepared in sculleries, i.e. it was cleaned, chopped, sliced and ground there. These sculleries were called ‘office’, and the term ‘office knife’ remains. If you feed the search engine with the term ‘office’ these days, it translates it as ‘bureau’. And the ‘palawatsch’ is ready, as they say in Vienna when there's a mess. Although some people also cook in the office. If the boss gives them cause. Or the cartridge.
