Opinel manufactures in France the 3 kitchen knives that make up this TRIO set, from the LES FORGES 1890 collection.
This collection embodies the high quality of French cutlery.
High-quality knives, 100% forged, ensuring excellent robustness, perfect cutting quality, very good durability and admirable balance.
Exceptional knives that will quickly become essential for your everyday kitchen.
The set consists of the following:
- A Chef's knife: it has a 20cm blade. Perfect for many uses: slicing, cutting into rounds, chopping, flattening.
- A carving knife: its blade measures 16cm. You can carve roasts and poultry, as well as large fruits.
- A paring knife: an 8cm blade, multi-purpose, practical for peeling, hulling, skinning, dicing...
The knives are made from X50CrMoV15 steel, which is a stainless steel with very high corrosion resistance. The blade hardness is 56-57 HRC. The full tang blade extends throughout the handle. This contributes to the knife's robustness and balance as the steel's weight is perfectly distributed.
The knife handles are made from beech wood, sourced from a sustainably managed forest. The wood is not varnished but has been stabilised to resist water. The grip of all 3 knives is remarkable.
The TRIO set is a must-have. The perfect gift to give or to treat yourself.
We recommend cleaning these knives by hand, not in the dishwasher.
