Wood, simplicity, effectiveness: Opinel has tapped into its roots and expertise to create the Parallèle kitchen knife range. The beechwood handle, robust and soft in the palm of the hand, with simple and softened lines, ensures a comfortable grip and an inimitable touch. The blade profiles have been designed to optimize movement and ensure a perfect cut suitable for any type of food.
