Bread knife N°116 PARALLÈLE 21 cm, natural, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

Bread comes in many shapes and sizes, and some of them can make slicing feel like a personal battle. N°116 PARALLÈLE is perfect for those moments when you want to glide through a crunchy crust, soft crumb, and larger loaves without half of the bread ending up as crumbs all over the kitchen.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°116 PARALLÈLE is a specialised knife for comfortable slicing of baguettes, loaves, and other types of bread and pastries.
• The curved, serrated 21 cm blade easily penetrates firmer crusts and allows for a smooth, continuous cut.
• The pronounced serration helps to slice bread without excessive pressure, reducing unnecessary compression of the soft crumb during portioning.
• The curved profile of the blade supports the natural movement of the hand and increases comfort when repeatedly slicing larger quantities of bread.
• The long working section easily handles baguettes, classic loaves, wholemeal bread, and other larger types of baked goods.
• X50CrMoV15 stainless steel offers high corrosion resistance while maintaining excellent cutting properties.
• The blade hardness of 56-57 HRC creates a balanced ratio between edge retention and practicality for regular kitchen use.
• The serrated edge is designed for efficient cutting of foods with a firmer surface and softer structure inside.
• The beech wood handle is hard, durable, and at the same time comfortable in the hand during regular bread slicing.
• The PEFC-certified beech wood comes from sustainably managed sources in the Jura and Vercors regions of France.
• The light grain of the beech wood ranges from yellow to pink shades and is complemented by characteristic small darker lines.
• The lacquered surface of the handle helps protect the wood from moisture and dirt during regular use in the kitchen.
• The 13.2 cm handle provides ample space for a comfortable and stable grip during long cutting strokes.
• The model belongs to the PARALLÈLE collection, characterised by its simple appearance, beech wood handles, and blade profiles tailored to individual kitchen tasks.
• The knife is made in France and represents a practical choice for households where bread and pastries are sliced regularly.
