Stainless Steel Sandvik 12C27

Opinel uses Sandvik 12C27, modified stainless steel for its knives. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.

Handle

Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles,it has a light and homogeneous color, a fine and regular grain and a very strong resistance over time.

Virobloc

All garden knifes include the patented Virobloc safety ring, that keeps the blade locked open while in use and locked shut while in transport. The Safety Ring was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. The Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives, from the N° 06 size. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).

Cleaning

With your Opinel open, run warm water on the blade and wipe with a sponge and washing-up liquid. Rinse the blade with warm water while taking care not to soak the wooden handle. Leave the blade to dry before closing (this is not necessary for plastic handles).

Important: Do not immerse your knife in water as this could warp the wooden handle.
