Opinel Knife N°10 Carbon Steel with Beech Handle and Virobloc Safety Ring Opinel

Opinel Knife N°10 in Carbon Steel with Beech Handle and Virobloc Safety Ring

Discover the authentic Opinel Knife N°10, a classic tool created in the late 19th century in Savoie, perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Its 10 cm carbon steel blade is easy to sharpen and ensures excellent cutting performance.

• Beech handle: Designed for optimal comfort, it is easy to handle. Made from beech sourced from French plantations, it is hard, durable, and easy to work with. Its light color ranges from yellow to pink, with numerous dark streaks. The handle is painted for effective protection against dirt and moisture.
• Virobloc safety ring: Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, this ring allows you to lock the blade in either the open or closed position, ensuring safety during use and transport.

The Opinel carbon steel is a non-alloy steel with a high carbon content, offering excellent hardness and wear resistance, along with easy re-sharpening. However, it requires precautions for use: avoid humid environments, do not wash in the dishwasher, and clean the blade with an oiled cloth after use.

To keep the blade in perfect condition, regular maintenance is recommended: dry and lubricate after use. For more details, check out our blog in the article 'Caring for the Blade'.
