Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel. Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is known for its cutting edge and easy maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its excellent hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon percentage of at least 0.40% which allows you to obtain a very satisfactory cut without being sensitive to corrosion. Blade hardness 57-58 HRC.

Oak handle. Oak is a hard wood, very resistant, especially to insects and fungi thanks to its high tannin content. Coming from French companies, it has a yellow-brown appearance, with straight and regular veins. The handle is painted to protect it from dirt and humidity.

Safety ring . Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is present on all folding knives starting from N°06. Carved from stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety of use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (safety of transport).
