Bread knife N°216 INTEMPORA 21 cm, blue, POM, Opinel

Product detailed description

The French have managed to turn ordinary bread into a cultural institution, so it makes perfect sense that Opinel has approached it with the same level of seriousness. The N°216 INTEMPORA is a knife for those moments when you simply want to slice a baguette exactly as its reputation deserves.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°216 INTEMPORA is a specialised kitchen knife designed for the comfortable and precise slicing of all kinds of bread.
• The curved, serrated 21 cm blade easily penetrates the crust, allowing for smooth slicing of bread and pastries.
• The pronounced serration makes it easy to slice baguettes, loaves and other breads without having to apply unnecessary pressure.
• The curved profile of the blade supports a natural cutting motion and contributes to more comfortable work on the chopping board.
• The long cutting edge of the blade allows for smooth, continuous strokes even through wider loaves and larger pieces of bread.
• The Sandvik 12C27M stainless steel contains 0.52% carbon and offers high sharpness as well as very good cutting performance.
• The 14.5% chrome content contributes to the blade's good corrosion resistance during regular kitchen use.
• The addition of 0.60% manganese complements the properties of the steel used and supports its mechanical resistance during everyday work.
• The full tang construction runs the steel along the entire length of the handle, contributing to the knife's robustness, stability and balance.
• The moulded handle made of fiberglass-reinforced polyoxymethylene resists water, wear and impacts during intensive use.
• The curved handle shape and triangular profile support a secure and comfortable grip during repetitive bread slicing.
• The handle is also designed with resistance to temperature, water and impacts in everyday kitchen operations in mind.
• The balanced design helps maintain good control over the long blade and makes slicing larger quantities of bread more enjoyable.
• The model belongs to the INTEMPORA collection, which focuses on robust and balanced kitchen knives with full-tang construction and durable polymer handles.
• The specialised design gives the knife a clear place in the kitchen wherever fresh bread and pastries are regularly sliced.
