Beech is the most widely used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. It comes from French farms, it is hard, resistant and easy to work with.

Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel honed by Opinel is renowned for its cut and ease of use. Stainless steel is capable of undergoing heat treatment that gives it its great durability and is called martensitic. It has a large amount of carbon, at least 0.40%, which allows for a very satisfactory cut and is sensitive to corrosion. Blade hardness 57-58 HRC
Invented by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is found on all razors that close from No. 06 Cut from stainless steel, the Virobloc is made up of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to the blocking of the blade in the open position (safety of use), it is already possible to close the blade in the closed position (safe transport).
French developers at Opinel have developed a Bowie -style steel blade, which forms a very fine point, ideal for piercing objects or textures. In addition, this knife profile allows for increased control and strength on the part of the user.
The edge is straight, so the work surface is maximized and good results are obtained in large cuts, in a much cleaner way. The combination of the blade profile together with the characteristics of the edge make this small size knife a powerful weapon.
