Opinel Slimline Folding Fillet Knife - Padouk Wood (No.08)

Introducing The Opinel Effilé Slim Series, an elegant and highly ergonomic collection of knives designed for filleting fish and other outdoor cooking tasks. The slim blades come in four different sizes, ranging from No.08 to No.15, and are available in a variety of woods such as Ebony, Beech Wood, Olive Wood, and Padouk Wood.

The new version of the Effilé features a more urban blade with a rounded tip, as well as moisture-resistant, low-maintenance wooden handles. The Padouk and Olive wood models have mirror-finished blades, giving them an especially elegant look. The ferrule is branded with the new logo and locks the blade in both open and closed positions.

All the slim knives have a narrow, flexible blade, with the smaller sizes suitable for cutting fruits and vegetables, while the larger sizes are meant for filleting fish. It's important to note that the knives have slightly flexible blades and are not designed for heavy-duty tasks.

When it comes to caring for your knife, it's important to avoid washing Opinel wooden-handle knives in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause the wood to swell. The stainless steel used in Opinel blades is optimized for high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance, offering excellent sharpness and high resistance to wear.

Opinel has been making their knives in the French Alps for over 130 years. Each year, their team of 150 employees in France manufactures over 5 million knives, creating everything from outdoor tools to kitchen knives, all to honor Joseph Opinel’s focus on quality and simplicity.

With a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability, Opinel knives are a timeless classic that has been carried by generations of artists, explorers, and farmers. Made in France, these knives offer a perfect balance of elegance and functionality. Add an Opinel knife to your collection and experience the beauty and utility of these handcrafted tools today.
