The blade is ground to an exclusive convex profile that ensures the strength of the blade and allows efficient regrinding. Beech is the most commonly used wood for the manufacture of Opinel handles.

From France, our beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.
