Description
In 1890, in the small alpine village of Maurienne, Savoie, Joseph Opinel invented a pocket knife that bears his name. Today, the Opinel empire has become synonymous with this humble knife, crafting each piece in Chambery for more than 130 years - a sign of savoir-faire rooted in the French Alps.
An elegant and ergonomic design with a detail wood blend handle, this classic N°06 pocket knife is a compact and handy design that speaks to the brand's practical leitmotiv.

About Opinel
It is a worldwide success that the Savoyard brand will know by winning the gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in Turin in 1911. The brand continues its development and opens its factory in Chambéry, historic city for the brand that still has its head office today.
The emblem of the brand is a hand crowned to remind that the Savoy is a duchy and the blessing hand is that of Saint Jean-Baptiste, appearing on the coat of arms of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, the nearest town of Albiez-le-Vieux, cradle of the Opinel family.
Recognizable with its blade, its distinctive handle, its rivet and its fixed ferrule, the Opinel knife adopts an elegant design with its fine and clean lines, fruit of a traditional know-how.
