Opinel 002285 Les Forgé chef's knife

The LES FORGÉS 1890 chef's knives from Opinel epitomise the high quality of French knife forging. With the series created by the BIG-GAME design studio, Opinel offers a collection of forged chef's knives that will delight even the most discerning customers. It was inspired by the work and personality of two-star chef Jean Sulpice, who runs the Auberge de Père Bise in Talloires, on Lake Annecy. Forged from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 56-57 HRC, the knives are characterised by their robustness, balance, durability and cutting quality. The handle made of stabilised beech wood with its ergonomic profile pays homage to the traditional Opinel pocket knife and offers remarkable grip and handling properties. As a useful addition to the LES FORGÉS 1890 kitchen knife range, Opinel also offers a shorter version of the chef's knife with a 17 cm blade. The more compact version makes this model an ideal all-purpose knife in the kitchen and is in no way inferior to its bigger brother in terms of application possibilities and quality.
