Pocket, kitchen and outdoor knives rooted in Savoie and largely manufactured at the brand’s Chambéry factory.
Joseph Opinel developed a small wooden-handled folding knife in the French Alps. Its simple blade, turned handle and later Virobloc safety ring created a form that has changed remarkably little.
Three products that define Opinel.
The reference folding knife in the numbered range.
A smaller everyday folder with the same lock.
A full-size kitchen knife with a beech handle.
