Chef's Knife No. 118

Crafted in France, Opinel's Chef’s Knife is a versatile, everyday essential designed for precision and performance. Its broad, curved stainless steel blade excels at chopping, slicing, and dicing everything from herbs to hearty vegetables. The sustainably sourced beechwood handle offers comfort, balance, and a touch of understated charm — a nod to the brand’s heritage of blending functional design with everyday utility.

An Opinel knife has become emblematic of French culture — Pablo Picasso famously used one as a sculpting tool. Today, Opinel is recognized in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s collection of the 100 most iconic designs, alongside the Porsche 911 and the Rolex watch.
