An incredible blade, a unique knife

The N°10 Shiori is the result of a partnership between Opinel, Nigara Hamono, famous for his Japanese Tsugaru Uchihamono cutlery, and Atsuko Totsuka-Blanchet, founder of Shiori, who selects objects made by Japanese craftspeople that are also suited to French everyday life. 

This exceptional knife's blade is crafted from VG7, a multilayer stainless steel. The hand hammering process is called Tsuchime and creates an irregular surface that prevents wet food from sticking to the blade. It ensures an exact cut and a cutting edge that will last. 

The handle is made of flamed maple, a luminous, shimmering wood. 

The butt has a matte black finish.

VG7 is a multi-layer stainless steel. Tsuchime, the name of the artisanal hammering process, gives the blade an irregular surface. With a hardness of 63 HRC, the blade offers a remarkable cut and a cutting edge that lasts. 

Virobloc made in stainless steel with a specific black treatment which improves the protection against the corrosion. This treatment is scratch-sensitive, be careful not to use abrasive products or abrasive sponges when cleaning.

Flamed maple is a French wood with a shimmering wave pattern. Luminous, it is buffed for a soft touch.
