Opinel
Opinel is a French knife brand with over 130 years of history, known for its iconic folding knives. Founded in 1890 by Joseph Opinel, this family-owned company produces traditional and affordable knives that are beloved worldwide. The simple and elegant design, combined with high functionality, makes Opinel knives ideal for everyday use and outdoor activities such as hiking or camping.
Opinel uses high-quality steels like carbon steel and stainless steel Sandvik, which offer excellent sharpness and easy maintenance. The handles are made from wood, most commonly beechwood, adding to the traditional character of the knives. Opinel knives are not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing, preserving French craftsmanship and quality. The brand is also known for its patented Virobloc safety ring, which protects users from accidental closing or opening of the knife.
