OPINEL N°114 Vegetable Knife Blue – vegetable knife, blue (stainless steel, wooden handle)

A must-have for preparing vegetables! 

This vegetable knife is unique: it has a thin, curved and pointed 7 cm stainless steel blade. The back of the blade is micro-serrated, making it easy to scrape vegetables. Its lacquered hornbeam handle ensures a comfortable grip. The blue colour is part of the Paysage range, which features a variety of muted and vibrant hues.

Made in France

This thin blade is ideal for precise, delicate tasks such as peeling, garnishing and carving fruit and vegetables, but is not suitable for slicing large, hard-skinned vegetables such as squash or celeriac.

Technical specifications

Martensitic stainless steel

Hardness 55-57 HRC. European origin.
The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance. 
The blade offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials, such as ceramics, before requiring re-sharpening. Stainless steel has the advantage of requiring no special maintenance under ordinary conditions of use, unlike carbon steel. Nevertheless, it can meet its limits when it is put in prolonged contact with an aggressive environment (acid, salt water, detergent ...).

7 cm

Handle

PEFC-certified hornbeam comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. This white wood with few veins is ideal for applying color. The handle is varnished to be protected against moisture and dirt.
