The Atelier collection reinvents the Opinel marquetry.

The result of the creativity and know-how of our cabinetmakers, the handle of the Atelier collection combines walnut and ebony.

This novelty is part of Opinel's approach to make maximum use of European wood species and to optimize the consumption of exotic wood by reinterpreting the scraps resulting from the manufacture of handles.

Technical specifications

8.5 cm

Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. 
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows 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 ...).

Walnut handle from French forests with African ebony heel. These two species are separated by a maple layer. To get a velvet touch, a specific wax is applied manually on each handle.

Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to all folding knives from the N° 06. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
