Martensitic stainless steel
The stainless steel used for OPINEL blades is optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high abrasion (wear) resistance, allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramic, before needing sharpening.
Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under normal use conditions, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits when exposed for a prolonged period to aggressive environments (acid, salty water, detergent...).
Steel hardness: 55-57 HRC. 

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

Blade length: 10 cm
