N°115 peeler, stainless steel, 6 cm, "Les Essentiels", Red - Opinel

N°115 peeler, made of stainless steel, 6 cm long blade, Opinel brand.

Essential in any kitchen, the peeler is easy to handle when it comes to paring fruit or vegetables.

Martensitic stainless steel

Stainless steel hardness: 55-57 HRC
The stainless steel used to manufacture OPINEL knife blades is optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The knife blade offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion (wear) resistance, allowing it to withstand the usual contact with hard materials. Stainless steel has the advantage of not requiring special maintenance under normal use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent...).

Blade
Blades of the Opinel peelers are sharpened on both sides, allowing them to be used by both right-handed and left-handed individuals.

The  handle
The handle is made from hornbeam wood. Sourced from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is lacquered to protect it from moisture and dirt. 

This peeler is made in France and its red colour is part of the Paysage colours that pay homage to nature.

Blade length: 6 cm
