Martensitic stainless steel with a high carbon content (0.52%) which guarantees excellent sharpness and high cutting power while offering good corrosion resistance thanks to the addition of chromium (14.5%) and manganese (0.60%).

The moulded handle is made from fibreglass polyoxymethylene which ensures excellent resistance to wear and water and outstanding impact strength. Thanks to its curved shape and triangular profile, it provides a secure and comfortable grip. After washing, the fiberglass may show slight white streaks. Simply lightly oil the handle to restore its blue color.

The sharpening service is offered (excluding shipping costs) for Intempora and Forgés 1890 knives (except bread knives).

Please send your knife to OPINEL - SAV - 508 Bd Henry Bordeaux 73000 Chambéry, with indication of the service "Intempora and Forgés 1890 free sharpening" and your contact information on free paper.

Sharpening period: 3 weeks after receipt of the knives

The full-tang blade extends throughout the entire length of the handle. The knife is robust and well balanced.
