One of the most useful knives in the kitchen is the simple pantry knife. The Opinel Pantry knife is a superior knife that’s both lightweight and durable. It takes an edge with ease, and with minimal care, it will last for generations. As a matter of fact, versatility and durability is a well-deserved point of pride for Opinel, “[it’s] used everywhere from the garden to the table, a knife that is given as a gift and passed down to loved ones.”
We all know that for more than 125 years Opinel knives have been an iconic knife brand featuring simplicity and durability at an affordable price, but there’s an “ity” that escaped our attention. We didn’t realize that for many years Opinel focused on sustainability. Opinel tells us that they try to prevent negative impact on the environment, and that “95% of the wood for [Opinel] handles comes from sustainably managed French forests.”
The Opinel Pantry knife set of two pantry knives comes with natural beech hardwood handles, and either a 3.94” 12C27 Sandvik stainless steel blades or a 3.94” carbon steel blades. The 12C27 Sandvik model allows “razor sharpness, high hardness, exceptional toughness and good corrosion resistance,” Opinel says. The carbon steel readily accepts an edge, which provides excellent cutting quality, good wear resistance and easy regrinding.
