If you want to become a chef, you have to start early.

OPINEL produces a beechwood handle that is sized for children's hands, just as it does for adults. A stainless blade made of Sandvik steel in a rounded shape prevents the risk of injury. Of course, the following always applies: No child should use the knife without adult supervision. From what age can you let a child use it? Officially, it's from the age of 5 with this knife. Depending on the child's maturity and skill, some can be inspired to do so as early as three or four years of age.

Because even when the tip of the blade is round, it is still a sharp-edged knife. The red plastic finger guard fixes the material being cut. The finger ring, also in red, prevents slipping during the first attempts at walking as an assistant chef.

The first and so far only woman in Europe to have been awarded four toques and two stars is Johanna Maier. Coming from a poor background, she initially had to contribute to the family income by doing ironing. And today, no matter how many toques are hanging in her wardrobe, she is a big boss. La grande patronne.
