Upgrade your cutlery with the Les Forges 1890 8” Bread Knife by Opinel, named for the year this renowned company began producing high-quality knives. Crafted in the French Alps, this model is based on Opinel’s signature, award-winning bread knife shape. The fully hot-forged knife is made from a round bar of high-carbon stainless steel, ensuring exceptional strength, balance and durability. The gently curved, full-tang blade cuts cleanly through even the toughest crusts. The knife’s ergonomic handle is carved from beech wood and heat-treated for water-resistance and easy maintenance.
- Knife Blade: X50CrMoV15 high carbon stainless steel, full-tang, serrated blade construction, fully hot-forged from a single piece stainless steel rod with 57-59 HRC, offering a high resistance to corrosion.
- Handle: sustainably sourced and PEFC certified, dark-stained beechwood, heat-treated for water resistance.
- Dimensions: Overall Length - 14”, Blade Length - 8.25”, Weight - 12.8oz.
- Made in France, designed by BIG-GAME studio for Opinel.
- Opinel strives to create as little waste as possible, prioritizing sustainably-sourced wood, recyclable packaging and responsible manufacturing processes.
- Packaged in a gift box made from recyclable materials.
- Hand-wash only, not dishwasher-safe, dry the blade using a soft dry cloth, avoid soaking for long periods, which can warp the wood and damage the blade.
- To prolong the sharpness of the blade, always cut on wood, bamboo, composite or food-grade plastic surfaces; avoid cutting on hard glass, marble and ceramic that will dull the blade.
- Sharpen at an angle of 18/20 degrees.
- It is not recommended to sharpen serrated knives on your own; Due to the sharp recessed edges of a serrated knife, it will stay sharp for years to come if maintained properly.
