Description

  • The 8 cm blade in modified 12C27 stainless steel from Sandvik for Opinel has a remarkable sharpness and is easy to maintain.
  • The curved blade is beveled on both sides. It allows fine and clean cuts of great importance in grafting operations. It is also very comfortable for picking fruits and flowers.
  • The hard and resistant beech handle is varnished to better protect it from humidity and dirt.
  • The curvature of the handle is harmonized with that of the blade which folds to avoid injuries during transport.
  • Equipped with a Virobloc safety ferrule invented in 1955 by Opinel. Made of stainless steel, it allows you to lock the blade in the open (during use) or closed (during transport) position.
  • The blade locked in the handle is easily released thanks to the Savoyard blow; the consists of hitting the underside of the handle at its end on a hard surface to release the blade and unfold it easily.
