Wood, simplicity, effectiveness: Opinel has drawn on its roots and expertise to create the Parallèle range of kitchen knives. The beech handle, sturdy 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 the gesture and guarantee a perfect cut suitable for all foods.

Materials:

Blade: Made of full-tang stainless steel, with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. The steel used guarantees high resistance to corrosion and excellent mechanical performance. The smooth blade has an excellent cutting edge, easily resharpened, which maintains its effectiveness even after use with hard materials such as ceramic.

Handle: Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. Coming from French crops, it is hard, resistant and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous dark lines. The handle is varnished to be effectively protected from dirt and humidity.

Characteristics:

Blade length: 80mm.
Blade thickness: 1.5mm.
Total length: 176mm.
Weight: 24g.

Maintenance: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the quality of the wood and the blade. Stainless steel offers low maintenance, but it is preferable to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acids, salt water, detergents).

Long-lasting cutting edge and easily resharpenable.
Ergonomic and resistant handle, for a comfortable grip.
