Opinel Slimline Folding Fillet Knife with Virobloc Locking Collar and Olivewood Handle

The Opinel Effilé Slim Series offers a range of elegant, highly ergonomic knives designed for filleting fish. Available in four different sizes, from No. 08 to No. 15, these knives come in a variety of woods including Ebony, Beech Wood, Olive Wood, and Padouk Wood. 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 come with mirror polished blades for added elegance. The ferrule is branded with the new logo and locks the blade in open and closed positions. It is important to note that the slim knives have a slightly flexible blade and are not intended for heavy-duty tasks.

Opinel suggests hand-washing the knives as they are not designed to be washed in the dishwasher. The stainless steel used in the blades offers high corrosion resistance and mechanical performance. The blades also offer excellent sharpness and resistance to abrasion, requiring minimal maintenance under ordinary usage conditions.
