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. Walnut wood gives the tool a distinctive character and natural elegance that catches the eye at first glance. It has a distinctive grain and warm tone that varies depending on the direction of the grain, so each piece looks slightly different and naturally original.
Walnut is known for its strength and stability, making it a suitable choice for outdoor work and various DIY activities. Thanks to the protective varnish, the handle is more resistant to moisture and dirt, so it retains its properties even with regular use in the field. The whole creates a reliable and aesthetically appealing tool that naturally combines traditional construction with the quality of natural material.

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.
