Clip Point Sheet Style
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.
Beech Wood Scales
