Stainless steel with hardness 55-57 HRC, used in OPINEL blades, is class, optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance, as well as high mechanical performance. The advantage of stainless steel is, that it does not require special maintenance under normal conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. However, it can reach its limits, if placed in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salty water, cleaning agent …).
Beech is the most commonly used wood for making Opinel handles. French beech is hard, durable and easy to handle. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark lines.
Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955 G., the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from N° 06 onwards. Cut from stainless steel, Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed state (transportation safety).
