Opinel No. 8 Stainless Steel Pocket Knife

$20.00

French company Opinel's flagship No. 8 size has been produced virtually unchanged since 1890. Its 3.25-inch blade is made of high-grade Swedish Sandvik steel that holds an edge well, tunes up easily on any sharpening device, and is thin enough to slice beautifully through delicate foods. We especially love the French company's ingenious virobloc collar-style lock, which firmly holds the blade in place by twisting sideways—it's far easier to use than most any other locking-blade knife and basically removes any risk of the blade folding onto exposed fingers. And the contoured wood handle nestles perfectly into the palm for firm control, making it a terrific choice for close hand work, like peeling garlic cloves or slicing apples.

Ingredients Specifications Dimensions: Total: 7.5 inches, Blade: 3.25 inches Material: Blade: 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel, Handle: Beechwood Place of Origin: France [/accordion] CARE AND USE In France, "opined" now just means pocket knife-- it's become that versatile. You, too, may find yourself reaching for this knife outside of the kitchen, too, for odd jobs like breaking down boxes, cutting herb and flower stems, or fas your trustiest companion on your next camping trip.

Opinel Brunch Knife

$24.95

Opinel's Brunch Knife might be the new favorite knife you never knew you needed: a breakfast knife that actually cuts. The blade is partially serrated to slice crusty toast and chewy sausages—it's not overly sharp, just keen enough to get the job done without a struggle. The 4.5-inch broad blade and rounded tip are very effective at scraping the bottom of jars and spreading butter and jam on toast. Choose between a natural beechwood or blood orange handle, both of which have sleek, classic designs that will match any table setting. To keep your knife in good condition, we recommend hand-washing and drying promptly.
