Glossary

Carbon steel

Our carbon steel is extremely hard, thereby guaranteeing excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance

and easy regrinding. Carbon can corrode easily. We advise you to avoid damp locations and to wipe and

grease the blade after use.

Stainless steel

We use Swedish 12C27 modified stainless steel (Sandvik). It is extremely anti-corrosive thanks to the

addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives

excellent cutting edge.

Convex profile

Opinel blades are ground to an exclusive convex profile. The blade maintains its robustness and can be

ground efficiently.

Virobloc

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the No. 06.

Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking

the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).

Wood

To avoid harming the environment (pollution due to transport, deforestation, etc.), 95% of wooden

handles come from French logging.

Made in France

All our pocket knives and tools are manufactured in our factory at Chambéry in Savoie.
