Martensitic stainless steel provides high corrosion resistance and good mechanical performance.

The blade can be secured in the open position during use and in the closed position during transport.
The steel is selected by Opinel to balance high corrosion resistance, mechanical strength and useful cutting-edge retention.
The blade provides very good sharpness and high resistance to abrasive wear, helping it retain useful cutting performance during regular use.
Compared with carbon steel, the stainless version does not require the same level of continuous special maintenance under normal conditions.
The classic Opinel blade uses a Yatagan shape inspired by the traditional Turkish yataghan. Its subtly raised tip and characteristic profile are an important part of the visual identity of the brand.
The geometry is well suited to a broad range of everyday and practical tasks.
The characteristic shape gives the traditional Opinel its instantly recognisable silhouette.
Opinel uses its characteristic convex profile, designed for blade strength and effective resharpening.
Beech is the wood most commonly used for classic Opinel handles. It is hard, durable and easy to work, while the natural grain helps preserve the traditional appearance of the model.
The handle length provides a good balance between compact dimensions and enough space for a comfortable grip.
Opinel uses wood from sustainably managed forest sources in the Jura and Vercors regions.
The varnished finish helps protect the handle against moisture and dirt.
One of the most recognisable functional features of classic Opinel folding knives.
Virobloc® consists of a fixed section and a rotating stainless-steel safety ring.
During use, the ring can lock the blade in the open position. During transport and storage, it can also secure the blade in the closed position.

The 8.5 cm blade is practical for preparing and serving a wide range of foods.
