Handy, efficient, complementary. OPINEL's keywords for this kitchen knife made of stainless steel. Beech wood is a hardwood that is considered durable and easy to work with. OPINEL uses the stock of French farms as a supplier.

In 1567, the then French monarch decreed that every cutler should affix an emblem to his products to guarantee their origin and quality.

In 1909, Joseph OPINEL chose La Main Couronnée as such a mark. The blessed hand is that of Saint Jean-Baptiste, which can be found on the coat of arms of the town nearest to the OPINEL factory. 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, i.e. cleaned, chopped, cut and weighed, in sculleries. These sculleries were called “office”, and the term office knife remains. If you feed the search engine the term “office” these days, it translates it as “bureau”. And just like that, you have “palawatsch”, as they say in Vienna when they want to describe a mess. And because two people are less alone in the office, a set of two 112 vegetable knives is offered here.
