Made in France
Rooted in history with a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family still make their knives in the Savoie region in France, nestled at the foot of the French Alps.
Opinel and me
From pocket to kitchen knives, all are Made in France
Invented by Joseph Opinel in 1890, the pocket knife that today proudly bears his name is an indispensable item when it comes to daily living.
Based in Chambéry, in the French department of Savoie, the Opinel company has produced long-lasting, robust and efficient knives for over 130 years: pocket knives, small foldable garden tools, high-end table knives and professional quality kitchen knife sets. Knife collectors will love the limited edition luxury models. The brand, with its famous "crowned hand" logo, has also brought out a kids' knife collection, so little ones can safely prepare meals. For a unique, original and stand-out gift, our customisable knives are available to individuals, companies and restaurants.
