Opinel Slim Fillet Folding Knife

The Opinel Slim Series, also known as Effilés in French, offers an elegant and highly ergonomic design, available in four different sizes ranging from No.08 to No.15. These slim knives have a narrow and flexible blade that makes them ideal for cutting fruits and vegetables, as well as filleting fish. It is important to note that these knives are not meant for heavy-duty tasks due to the slightly flexible blade. It is also important to keep in mind that all Opinel wooden-handle knives should not be washed in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell and make the knife difficult to open. Therefore, it is recommended to carefully hand-wash the knives and air dry them.

The Slim Series features the Virobloc safety ring, which was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955 and is now fitted to all folding knives ranging from No.6 to No.12. This safety ring is made of stainless steel and has two sections, one fixed and one sliding, which allows for the blade to be locked open while in use and closed while on the go.

Opinel, a brand that has been making knives in the French Alps for over 130 years, uses Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel for its blades, which is anti-corrosive and requires no special maintenance. The carbon content of at least 0.40% provides an excellent cutting edge that can be easily sharpened. The Slim Fillet knives are available in a variety of different woods, including Ebony, Buffalo Horn, Beech Wood, Olive Wood, and Padouk Wood.

In addition to the Slim Series, Opinel offers a range of other products, including the Colorama series, the Premium Wood series, the Corkscrew, the DIY Multitool, and the Garden Knife. Each of these products has its own unique features and is made with the same commitment to quality and simplicity that has been a hallmark of the Opinel brand since its founding in 1890. With a wide range of options to choose from, there is an Opinel knife for every need and preference.
