Features:
- Blade length: 8.5cm
- Stainless steel: Martensitic
- Blade shape: Yatagan
- Handle material: Hornbeam
- Handle length: 10.0cm
- Safety ring: Virobloc
Martensitic Stainless Steel - Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent etc.).
Yatagan blade - The classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.
Hornbeam handle - PEFC-certified hornbeam comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. This white wood with few veins is ideal for applying colour. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.
Virobloc safety ring - Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 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).
