Product detailed description
In the Opinel Luxury range collection, the classic pocket knife gets a new look thanks to the use of fine natural materials. The traditional lines remain timeless, but the olive wood adds a distinctive look to the entire tool, which evolves slightly differently with each piece. The natural grain of the olive wood creates interesting transitions from light tones to dark lines, resulting in a unique pattern that cannot be repeated, almost as if each knife tells its own story.
The smooth surface of the handle highlights the fine textures and provides a comfortable grip during everyday use. Thanks to its natural oils, olive wood has good properties when in contact with moisture and acquires an even more distinctive color over time. The result is a pocket knife suitable for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a stylish tool for everyday small tasks. The combination of traditional construction and the unique aesthetics of wood creates a combination that will appeal to both users and seekers of authentic content.

The first Opinel knife was made by Joseph Opinel in his father's workshop in the small village of Albiez-Le-Vieux near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in France. From 1896 onwards, with three employees, he produced around 60 pieces a day. By 1901, the original workshop was no longer sufficient, so Opinel built a new one, employing fifteen workers. Eight years later, Opinel registered a trademark with the company's logo: the hand with the crown (main couronnée), which has marked all knife blades ever since. The knives were first sold by travelling salesmen, and later Opinel itself began exporting its production to Belgium and Italy. In 1911, one of his knives won a gold medal at the International Exhibition in Turin.
In 1920, production expanded to a newly built factory in Cognin near Chambéry. By the beginning of the Second World War, the company had sold 20 million knives. The company is still owned today by the founder's family. There is also a museum (Le Musée de l'Opinel) in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The company employs around 100 people at its plants in Cognin and Chambéry and produces between four and five million knives a year.
