Opinel Les Forges Scalloped Santoku Knife, 17cm
The Opinel Les Forgés santoku knife has an ultra-sharp scalloped blade. Santoku knives are the Japanese version of a Western chef’s knife. They’re suitable for all kinds of cutting tasks, from fine slicing to dicing and chopping.
The scalloped edge prevents ingredients from sticking to the blade. It’s great for sticky or fatty ingredients like salmon.
The blade is made from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 steel. This type of steel is extremely hard-wearing and resistant to stains and corrosion. It’s beautifully balanced and retains its sharp edge over time.
The knife’s handle is made from durable beechwood. The sleek finish and dark brown hue gives it an elegant and luxurious look.
The Les Forgés 1890 collection was inspired by the work of two-Michelin-starred chef Jean Sulpice. Chef Jean is from the Savoie region of France where Opinel is based. The knives are designed to satisfy the demands of domestic and professional kitchens. They come in a lovely dark blue gift box.
Opinel knives are a fantastic investment for any chef. Each one is a piece of art, ready to transform the way you cook at home.
Hand wash only.
About Opinel
The Opinel family started as blacksmiths in Savoie, France in 1800. Although famous for their folding penknives, their expertise in blade making naturally led to a future in kitchen knives. Using the same high quality materials and over 200-years of know-how, you can now enjoy a touch of Opinel excellence every time you cook. These knives are designed in Savoie, France and manufactured in Portugal.
