After all, it was then that the first folding knife with such an original name was invented. By the way, Opinel is the name of the founder of the company. And even now these knives proudly wear it. Therefore, having such a knife, you can touch the family heirlooms from France. How Opinel differs from analogues Opinel produces a lot of interesting products, such as cutlery and garden tools. But of course knives are especially popular. The whole secret of Opinel lies in their design and the use of special materials. This became the rule of the manufacturer, which is unshakable to this day. For example, the fact that only natural wood is used in knives for the handle. For this, especially expensive breeds are selected, such as boxwood or bubing. For the blade, the manufacturer chose two materials - Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel and high carbon steel. In the first case, a special mark “inox” can be seen on the blade, and in the second - “carbone”. The steel is high strength and can last almost forever. As for the blade shape of Opinel knives, it depends primarily on the purpose. Knives with a wide range of applications usually have a fairly wide blade with a pointed tip.
