Description
The Opinel No.7 Chestnut Garlic Knife is a compact and versatile tool designed with specific culinary tasks in mind, yet capable of much more. Its defining feature is a short, 4cm curved blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel, known for its excellent sharpness and corrosion resistance. This unique blade shape excels at scoring chestnut shells for roasting, peeling garlic cloves with precision, and removing pits from small fruits like apricots and plums.
Complementing the blade is a comfortably shaped handle made from sustainably sourced European chestnut wood, providing a secure and natural grip. The No.7 also incorporates Opinel’s ingenious Virobloc safety ring, a simple yet effective locking mechanism. This allows the blade to be secured in both the open and closed positions, enhancing safety during use and transport.
Lightweight and easily portable, the Opinel No.7 Chestnut Garlic Knife is more than just a specialised kitchen tool. Its agility and precise cutting ability make it a handy companion for various tasks, from whittling wood to opening packages. This knife embodies Opinel’s timeless design principles: simplicity, functionality, and durability, making it a cherished tool for both culinary enthusiasts and everyday adventurers. Made in France, it carries the legacy of Opinel’s over 130 years of knife-making expertise.
