Opinel Wooden Case of 10 Carbon Steel Knives, 3.5-12 Cm Blade

MADE IN THE FRENCH ALPS FOR OVER 130 YEARS, the Opinel brand has a rich history and a commitment to craftsmanship. Designed by Joseph Opinel in 1890, the Opinel pocket knife has become a cult classic, renowned for its robust functionality and simple, beautiful design. Generations of artists, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable, imminently useful Opinel knife in their pockets.

Little has changed since 1890 at Opinel. Rooted in history and a dedication to quality, the Opinel family still manufactures their knives in the Savoie region of France. Each year, their team of 150 employees produces over 5 million knives, ranging from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all to honor Joseph Opinel's focus on quality and simplicity.

Caring for your Opinel knife is essential. Wooden-handle Opinel knives should be hand-washed and immediately dried with a soft towel, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell and make the knife difficult to open. Lubricating the blade with cooking oil before closing the knife is recommended to prevent oxidation.

Opinel offers a wide range of folding knives, from the classic Opinel Stainless Steel Beechwood to the versatile Opinel Slim Fillet Series and the eye-catching Opinel Colorama. For collectors and EDC users, the Opinel Stainless Steel Premium Wood line features a variety of luxurious wood handles. The Opinel No.12 Folding Saw is an excellent outdoor and survival tool, with features like a whistle, partial serrated blade, and shackle key.

In addition to the standard Opinel No.8 size, the brand offers a range of other sizes, from the minuscule No.2 to the large No.12. Each knife is crafted with the utmost attention to detail, featuring the iconic Virobloc safety ring and high-quality materials like 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel and sustainably sourced beechwood.

For those looking to start or expand their Opinel collection, the Opinel Display Collecting Wooden Case is a gift set that includes 10 carbon steel knives, ranging from 3.5 to 12 cm in blade length. This set showcases the brand's commitment to tradition and craftsmanship, with the smaller knives (No.2 to No.5) featuring the signature Virobloc safety ring.

Opinel's enduring legacy is a testament to the timeless appeal of functional, well-designed tools. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a kitchen aficionado, or a collector of fine craftsmanship, an Opinel knife is a worthy addition to your arsenal.
