Paring knife N°114, stainless steel, 7 cm, "Les Essentiels", Green - Opinel

Paring knife N°114, produced by Opinel, made from stainless steel, with a blade length of 7 cm.

The blade is thin yet sturdy and has a curved design, similar to a bird’s beak. It is ideal for precise and delicate tasks such as peeling, slicing, and carving soft fruits and vegetables. The upper edge features a serrated section for scraping the skin of certain vegetables. The knife is not suitable for slicing large, hard-skinned vegetables such as pumpkin or celery.

The knife has a comfortable handle made of hornbeam wood, lacquered and painted in a nature-inspired color.

Martensitic stainless steel
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is optimized to ensure both high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpening and high resistance to abrasion (wear), allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials such as ceramics before needing re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under normal conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it may reach its limits when exposed for long periods to aggressive environments (acid, salt water, detergents...).
Stainless steel hardness: 55-57 HRC.

Handle
Made of hornbeam wood. Sourced from French forests, this light-colored wood with few grain patterns is ideal for color application. The handle is lacquered to protect against moisture and dirt.

Made in France, its red color is part of the Paysage color range, paying tribute to nature.

Blade length: 7 cm
