Features:

Blade

Opinel Curved Knife No.10 has a blade length of 10 cm. The blade is made of 12C27 stainless steel, modified by Sandvik and adapted to Opinel knives, and is renowned for its extremely high quality and easy daily maintenance. The steel is hardened by heat treatment with martensitic hardening. With a carbon content of at least 0.40%, the blade is of high quality and corrosion-resistant.

The traditional Opinel blade is of the jatagan type. This shape was inspired by the curved point of the Turkish sword. The convex profile of the Jatagan blade gives it strength and allows for multiple sharpening.

Handle

Opinzel handles are usually made of beech wood. Beech trees grown on French farms are hard, resistant to external influences and easy to handle. The wood has a homogeneous appearance and its light colour can vary from yellow to pink. Beech wood can be identified by its many dark streaks. The handle is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt. The handle is equipped with a reinforced steel 5-strand wine opener.

Virobloc safety ring
The Opinel No. 10, like all other Opinel curved knives starting with the No. 6, is equipped with the Virobloc safety ring invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. The Virobloc ring, which is cut from stainless steel, consists of two parts: a fixed and a sliding part. The blade is locked in both a folded position (for safe handling) and a folded position (for safety during transport).
