| Stainless steel Sandvik | The modified 12C27 stainless steel, Sandvik developed for Opinel , is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel that can undergo the heat treatment that gives it its hardness is known as martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, giving the blade sharpness and corrosion durability. |
