Sandvik's modified 12C27 stainless steel tuned for Opinel is known for its cut and easy maintenance. Stainless steel capable of undergoing the heat treatment that gives it its excellent hardness is called martensitic. It has a carbon percentage of at least 0.40% which allows for a very satisfactory cut without being sensitive to corrosion. Blade hardness 57-58 HRC
Oak is a hard wood, very resistant, especially to insects and fungi thanks to the high tannin content. Coming from French companies, it has a brownish yellow appearance, with straight and regular veins. The handle is varnished to protect it from dirt and moisture.
Invented in 1955 by Marcel Opinel, the Virobloc safety ring is present on all folding knives starting from the N°06. Carved out of stainless steel, the Virobloc consists of two parts: a fixed part and a sliding part. In addition to locking the blade in the open position (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade in the closed position (safety in transport).
