Collection Les Forgés 1890

Les Forgés 1890 knives exemplify the high quality of French knife making.

Their masterful design by BIG-GAME studio, combined with their ancestral tradition of fine craftsmanship, will impress even the most discerning connoisseurs.

This fully forged knife, which has been made entirely (blade, bolster, and tang simultaneously) from a single, X50CrMoV15 stainless steel rod, benefits from the grain flow and superior quality imparted by hot forging.

It is noteworthy for its remarkable strength, perfect balance, durability, and excellent cutting ability.

The beechwood handle with ergonomic design is an homage to the traditional pocket knife, and provides outstanding grip comfort.

This Opinel Les Forgés bread knife has a long, serrated blade with a slight curve.

Perfect for cutting all types of bread. From hard to soft crusts, from soft buns to baguettes.

But did you know that a bread knife can also be used to cut pies and cake.

And that a bread knife can easily cut through hard vegetables and fruit such as melons, pumpkins and celeriac?

A real all-rounded in the kitchen!

Handle from beech wood

The handle on this kitchen knife is made from stabilized beech wood.

The wood is stabilized by adding synthetic resin with the help of some heat and under high pressure.

By stabilizing the wood it won't be affected as much by temperature and moisture.

In addition, it enables the manufacturer to add an extra colour.

Opinel selected a nice, deep, dark-brown colour which makes the knife look very luxurious and unique.

Be aware of the fact that materials such as wood have a natural variation.

The knife you receive can therefore be subtly different from the product photos.

The model and type of material, however, will always be the same. As such all knives are unique.

This is also what makes them so special.

Solid X50CrMoV15 steel

The blade is forged from one piece of X50CrMoV15 steel that is also a part of the entire handle.

As such the balance is excellent.

This type of steel is stainless, wear and tear resistant and hard enough to cut and peel, for instance, vegetables, fruit or potatoes.

That is why it is a popular choice for knives made in Europe.

Maintenance Les Forgés

Kitchen knives from the Les Forgés collection are not dishwasher proof.

Wash them by hand and immediately dry them afterwards. The handle is waterproof.

However, you shouldn't let the knife soak in water. Wash it, dry it and store it.
