Opinel breakfast knife in natural beech

The Opinel breakfast knife in natural beech cuts bread and pastries, then spreads your chosen topping. Its 11.5 cm stainless steel blade combines a 7.5 cm serrated section with a broad, rounded tip. This fixed-blade table knife is designed for breakfast and brunch.

Cutting and spreading with one blade

The serrated section cuts bread, pastries and sausages. The rounded tip spreads jam and other spreads, while the blade's length helps reach and scrape the bottom of jars. These functions share one blade, without a folding mechanism or locking ring.

The serrations do not run along the whole blade. This leaves the tip broad enough for spreading. You can move from cutting a pastry to adding its topping with the same knife.

Stainless steel and varnished beech

Opinel uses X50CrMoV15 stainless steel and gives a blade hardness of 56 to 57 HRC. The beech handle measures 9.8 cm. The pale wood has natural shades ranging from yellowish to pinkish, with the short, dark markings characteristic of beech.

Varnish adds protection against moisture and dirt. The Natural finish leaves the grain visible; it does not give the wood the properties of a plastic handle. It suits those who prefer a wooden handle at the table.

Cleaning after brunch

Opinel recommends hand washing its kitchen and table knives to preserve them. Clean the blade after use and dry the handle after rinsing. Do not leave the wood damp for a prolonged period. These instructions apply to this varnished beech model; dishwasher compatibility in another range does not apply automatically.
