Fillet knife N°221 INTEMPORA 18 cm, blue, POM, Opinel

Product detailed description

The N°221 INTEMPORA is for those moments when you want preparing fish to be something more elegant than an improvised struggle for every single piece of meat. A specialist simply has its advantages.

Main advantages:

• The Opinel N°221 INTEMPORA is a precise fillet knife designed primarily for processing fish and fine portioning of meat.
• The thin and flexible 18 cm blade easily adapts to the shape of the ingredient during filleting and portioning.
• The flexible blade profile makes it easier to separate fillets from bones, skinning (leather removal), and removing excess fat from fish.
• The knife is also ideal for slicing delicate portions of meat, fish, foie gras, or various types of terrines.
• The narrow blade allows for precise guidance of long cuts, which you will especially appreciate when working with delicate and soft ingredients.
• 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, promoting robustness, stability and balanced control.
• 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 filleting and precise portioning of ingredients.
• The handle is designed to withstand higher temperatures and the demanding conditions of everyday kitchen operations.
• The balanced construction facilitates controlled guidance of the flexible blade and helps during extended work with larger quantities of ingredients.
• The model belongs to the INTEMPORA collection, which focuses on robust and balanced kitchen knives with a full-tang construction and durable polymer handles.
• The specialized design makes the most sense when processing fish, but you will also use it for fine slicing of meat.
