KNIFE - OPINEL - N°10 Stainless steel

The N°10 is used for outdoor activities, but also for more demanding jobs such as cutting branches and processing thick materials. The 10 cm stainless steel blade ensures a high quality cut and high resistance to corrosion. The beech handle ensures a safe and pleasant grip. This knife allows you to work without risks thanks to the Virobloc safety ring, invented by Opinel.

The martensitic stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is optimized to ensure high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. The blade has an excellent cutting edge and high abrasion (wear) resistance, allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramic, before needing to be resharpened. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel has the advantage of not requiring maintenance under ordinary conditions of use. However, it can reach its limits when placed in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergents, etc.). Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.

Beech is the most used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. Coming from French cultivation, it is hard, resistant and easy to work with. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous dark dashes. The handle is painted to be effectively protected from dirt and humidity.
