The Opinel Essentials set consists of four sharp knives: a peeler, a versatile paring/utility knife, a serrated tomato/sausage knife, and an elegant paring knife. The blades are made from durable, wear-resistant Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel, which is also easy to sharpen. A paring knife is a small knife with a sharp edge, often used for peeling and cutting vegetables, mincing herbs, and making small, precise cuts. It is a versatile tool that is essential in any kitchen. A paring knife is usually no more than eight to ten centimetres long. The handle is made of durable beech wood, 95% of which comes from France. The blade is firmly attached to the handle with a partial tang and two rivets. The handle is sturdy and comfortable to hold. This knife set is suitable for small kitchen tasks such as peeling potatoes, splitting vegetables, cleaning strawberries, and cutting vegetables. The paring knife has a curved blade, making it easy to peel round produce. The kitchen knife easily divides fruits and vegetables into pieces. The serrated knife is ideal for slicing tomatoes and sausages. With the peeler, it is possible to peel many products in a short time, without too much loss. The Opinel Les Essentiels set is packaged in a beautiful gift box, making it immediately suitable for gifting. A perfect gift for the cooking enthusiast, which will be gratefully used for years.

It is not only dangerous, but it also damages the blade's edge. Therefore, store your knife safely in a knife block, hang it on a magnetic strip, or store it away. The knives in this set have a hardness of 57 HRC. This hardness ensures good edge retention, but the knife is still easy to sharpen by hand. Dishwasher safe? Like all other knives, using the dishwasher is not recommended. We recommend cleaning your quality knife with lukewarm, mild soapy water and drying it thoroughly. This way, you will enjoy your knife for the longest time. In the dishwasher, the steel is exposed to various temperatures, acids, and other corrosive substances. In addition, there is a chance that the blade will be damaged if it hits plates, pans, and other hard objects.
