Sustainable, simple, practical, the most simple folding knife that exists today was created at the end of the 19th century in a small mountain village in the French province of Savoy. In the far 1890s, the descendant master knife Josef Opinel made a knife with a specific shape and with a moving blade. He develops the world-famous knives named OPINEL in twelve different versions according to the length of the blade and numbers them consecutively from 2 to 12. The traditional knife Opinel INOX has taken the form of Yagatan. The shape of Yagatan is inspired by the traditional Turkish saber. The blade is made of an extremely robust and durable profile that ensures blade strength and allows effective sharpening.
