Description
The tradition in a mini version. The Opinel N°03 Stainless Steel Knife is accurate and effective in daily life: unpacking the packages, making models…
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. Above all, the blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear). Therefore, allowing it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening.
Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent…).
The Beech wood is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, our beech is hard, durable and easy to work. So, with a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. In addition, it is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.
