Knife maintenance kit, set of 3 pcs, Opinel

Product detailed description

Chef's and pocket knives usually don't age dramatically - they just start to cut less smoothly and the wooden handle loses some of its condition. Regular care with this set restores their shape so that hundreds of dinners don't have to start with a compromise.

Main advantages:

• Opinel The Maintenance Kit offers complete equipment for sharpening, lubricating, nourishing and subsequent cleaning of knives in one practical package.
• The set is designed for regular knife care and helps maintain their sharpness, functionality and good condition of materials in the long term.
• It includes a large natural sharpening stone from the Pyrenees, a 150 ml package of treatment oil and a microfiber tea towel measuring 20 × 20 cm.
• All three products are stored in a sturdy metal box, which makes it easy to store them neatly between uses.
• Natural sharpening stone comes from Ariège, France, in the Pyrenees, and is made from fine-grained shale sandstone.
• The 14 cm long grinding surface provides enough space for convenient maintenance of pocket and larger kitchen knives.
• The fine grit of approximately 1000 allows for the renewal of the blade and is also suitable for regular ongoing maintenance.
• Before grinding, lightly moisten the stone with water and guide the blade along its surface at an angle of approximately 20°.
• Smooth strokes from heel to tip restore the cutting edge, followed by lighter strokes to help remove the resulting fine burr.
• The treatment oil is of vegetable and food origin, so it is suitable for regular care of kitchen and folding knives.
• The oil can be used on blades and metal rings, where it helps reduce corrosion while keeping the mechanism in good condition.
• The same oil can also be used to nourish wooden handles, and regular care helps prevent them from drying out and cracking.
• You can also use the maintenance oil on wooden cutting boards, so the set is not only used to maintain the knives themselves.
• When applying, simply apply a few drops to a soft cloth and evenly treat the desired part of the knife or wood.
• After treating the closing knife, allow the blade to dry sufficiently before closing and wipe off any excess oil.
• A 20 x 20 cm microfiber cloth is used to wipe the knife and remove excess oil after maintenance is completed.
• The entire system covers three basic care steps - blade restoration, protection of metal and wooden parts, and final cleaning.
• Regular maintenance with a stone and oil helps extend the life of the knife and maintain its good cutting and mechanical properties.
• The compact metal box keeps the individual tools together and also makes the set a practical gift set for knife owners.
