Knife set LES FORGÉS 1890, set of 3 pcs, brown, beech wood, Opinel

Product detailed description

When Opinel decides to show what it can do at the very peak of its kitchen range, LES FORGÉS 1890 is born. The three fully forged knives feel more like a small showcase of French cutlery craftsmanship than something you would mindlessly throw into a drawer between a bottle opener and a peeler.

Main advantages:

• Opinel LES FORGÉS 1890 represents a premium trio of fully forged kitchen knives created for demanding home and professional gastronomy.
• Each knife is forged from a round bar of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, giving the collection exceptional robustness, stability, and balance.
• Hot forging utilizes the natural structure of the steel, creating a solid foundation for precise, smooth, and efficient cutting.
• The full-tang construction runs the steel through the entire length of the handle, evenly distributing weight and supporting confident control of each knife.
• The chef's knife with a 20 cm blade handles slicing, chopping, dicing, and fast rocking motion work.
• The tall and rigid blade of the chef's knife also allows for crushing garlic or meat and easily transferring chopped ingredients.
• The carving knife with a straight 16 cm blade is designed for precise carving of roasts, poultry, and cutting larger fruits or vegetables.
• The slim profile of the carving knife allows for long, clean cuts and preparing uniform slices without unnecessary tearing of the ingredients.
• The small knife with an 8 cm pointed blade offers exceptional control for peeling, dicing, and other delicate kitchen tasks.
• The compact knife is also excellent for trimming meat, preparing artichokes, hulling strawberries, or peeling potatoes and tomatoes.
• X50CrMoV15 stainless steel with a hardness of 56-57 HRC offers high corrosion resistance and a high-quality, precise cut.
• The stabilized beech wood handles come from sustainably managed forests and, thanks to a special treatment, resist water better.
• The surface of the handles remains unvarnished, letting the natural character of the wood and the authentic material expression of the entire collection stand out.
• The ergonomic profile of the handles pays tribute to the traditional Opinel folding knife while providing an exceptionally comfortable and secure grip.
• The LES FORGÉS 1890 collection was created in collaboration with the BIG-GAME design studio and builds on the French cutlery tradition of the Opinel brand.
• Its character is inspired by the work and personality of Savoyard chef Jean Sulpice, who has been awarded two Michelin stars.
• The entire range is conceived as a professionally usable collection that emphasizes precision, balance, robustness, and sophisticated design.
• Unified materials and proportions give the trio a distinctly premium character, while the different blade profiles cover essential kitchen techniques.
• From versatile tasks to festive carving and delicate detail preparation, the set offers three precisely graduated working tools.
• All three knives are made in France and represent the pinnacle Opinel kitchen range, continuing a tradition dating back to 1890.
