Sandvik stainless steel |
The modified Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel developed for Opinel is renowned for its sharpness and ease of maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing 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 upwards. Cut from stainless steel, Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. This system locks the blade in the open position (for safe use) or the closed position (for safe transport). |
