They advise you to avoid damp locations and to wipe and grease the blade after use. Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles. From France, their beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small, dark dashes. Invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955, the Virobloc safety ring is fitted to the No. 8.

In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
