The set OPINEL Les Essnetiels 001300 contains 4 small knives which cut beautifully and are suitable for everyday use: a paring knife, a serrated knife, a vegetable knife and a peeler. Paring knife, serrated knife and peeler made in France. Vegetable knife made in Portugal. The vegetable knife has a fine blade ideal for precise, delicate tasks such as peeling, garnishing and carving fruit and vegetables, but is not suitable for slicing large, hard-skinned vegetables such as squash or celeriac. The blades are made from stainless steel, that offers excellent sharpness and high resistance to abrasion (wear) which allows it to withstand regular contact with hard materials. The stainless steel used in OPINEL blades is a grade optimized to guarantee both high corrosion resistance and high mechanical performance.  Handles are made from beech wood, which is the most common wood used in Opinel handles. PEFC-certified, it comes from eco-managed farms in the Jura and Vercors regions. It is hard, resistant and easy to work. It is homogeneous in appearance, with a light color ranging from yellow to pink. It can be recognized by the presence of numerous small dark lines. The handle is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt.
