Opinel Bread knife ' Forges 1890'

The Les Forgés 1890 chef's knives from Opinel embody the high quality of French knife craftsmanship. With the series created by the design studio Big-Game, Opinel offers a collection of forged chef's knives that will impress even the most discerning customers. It is inspired by the work and personality of two-star chef Jean Sulpice, who runs the Auberge de Père Bise in Talloires by Lake Annecy. The knives, forged from X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with a Rockwell hardness of 56-57 HRC, are characterized by their robustness, balance, durability, and cutting quality. The handle, made from stabilized beech wood with its ergonomic profile, pays homage to the traditional Opinel pocket knife and offers remarkable grip and handling properties. Typical of a bread knife, this model features a coarse serrated edge that allows for effortless cutting of even, smooth slices. The knife also excels at slicing fruits with hard skins.
