The blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 steel, which is completely rust-free thanks to an addition of chrome. The knife is sharpened in an exclusive Yagatan profile, this profile guarantees a strong blade and gives the possibility to sharpen easily and efficiently.
The handle is made of beech wood, a hard wood that lasts a long time. In addition, the handle is treated to protect it against dirt and moisture. Finally, there is also Opinel’s own ‘Virobloc’ on the handle. This safety ring ensures safety during and outside use. Like the rest of the knife, this ring is also made of stainless steel.
