The Opinel Knife, famous and virtually unchanged since 1890. Manufactured in the town of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in the Savoie region of France.

Joseph Opinel       

With a classic and unique design, these French country knives all have a natural wood handle, and models over 7cm in length also feature a safety locking ring.

Available in both carbon and stainless steel blades in a huge range of sizes. From just a 3.5cm blade, right up to 12cm.

Simplicity at its finest.

Originally sold as a simple working man's knife, the Opinel has since become an iconic symbol of French culture and lifestyle. Pablo Picasso used an Opinel to carve his sculptures, while Roger Frison-Roche, the Savoyard alpine guide and mountaineer, never made an ascent without carrying an Opinel along.
