To ensure the longevity of your Opinel knife, it's important to take proper care of it. The wooden handle should not be washed in the dishwasher, as exposure to heat and moisture can cause swelling. Instead, the knife should be carefully hand washed and allowed to air dry. The Sandvik 12C27 Mod. Stainless Steel blade is low maintenance and highly resistant to rust, but can be polished or cared for with organic oils.
