Opinel Gardener's Knife Set

4 items left

The 3 essential tools you must keep in the garden, especially when spring is coming!

The box set includes Saw N°12, Garden knife N°08 and Pruning knife N°08.

The blades use Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. It is anti-corrosive thanks to the addition of chrome and requires no special maintenance. Its carbon content of at least 0.40% gives excellent cutting edge. Blade hardness 57-58 HRC.

The handles are made from Beech wood from France; the beech is hard, durable and easy to work. With a homogeneous appearance, its light colour varies from yellow to pink. It is characterized by the presence of numerous small dark dashes.

The safety locking ring was invented by Marcel Opinel in 1955. The Virobloc ring is fitted to all the tools6. Cut out of stainless steel, the Virobloc has two sections, one fixed and one sliding. In addition to locking the blade open (safety in use), it is now possible to lock the blade closed (safety in transport).
