Sandvik stainless steel |
The Sandvik modified 12C27 stainless steel 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 called martensitic. It has a carbon content of at least 0.40%, giving the blade sharpness and corrosion resistance. |
Virobloc safety ring |
Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all closing knives from N°06 onwards. Cut from stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed and a sliding part. This system allows the blade to be locked in the open position (safety in use), or closed (safety in transport). |
