The Giant ... Very prized by collectors, it is also highly appreciated at picnics and barbecues. At almost 20" when open, the Opinel No13 is a huge knife and is commonly used as a machete. Many of our customers also use this knife to barbecue, you can easily cut, poke or flip steaks on the grill and the handle does not transfer heat.
We use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge.Blade hardness 57-58 HRC
Yatagan bladeThe classic Opinel blade has adopted a Yatagan shape. The Yatagan shape is inspired by a traditional Turkish saber, the toe up. The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding.
HandleComing from French forests, this white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.
