Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. The stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment which gives it its good hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon content at least equal to 0.40%, which makes it possible to obtain a very satisfactory cutting edge without being sensitive to corrosion.
The traditional blade of the Opinel is called the Yatagan blade. Its shape is inspired by a Turkish saber with a pointed toe. The blade is grinded in an exclusive convex profile which guarantees the robustness of the blade and allows efficient re-grinding.
The beech is the most used wood for the manufacture of Opinel sleeves. Born out of French farms, it is hard, resistant and easy to work with. Its homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to rosé. It is recognizable by the presence of many small dark traits. The handle is varnished to be better protected against moisture and dirt.
Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the safety ring Virobloc is equipped with all the closing knives from N ° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safe operation), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (transport safety).
