Product Details
This Opinel Butter Knife (6.5cm) has a paddle shape for quickly and evenly spreading a variety of condiments on toast, from butter to pâté. The blade is forged from martensitic stainless steel, which has a high hardness due to the addition of nitrogen (0.15%) and superior corrosion resistance due to its high chromium content (16%). The light beechwood handle has been covered in a protective varnish for moisture resistance. It's the kind of item you don't know you need, and then you find yourself using it every day.
Why we love it
'Great for all types of spreads, not just butter. The paddle shape gently scoops and glides so there's no mangled butter blocks or torn toast.'

About The Brand
Opinel
Joseph Opinel began producing knives in a French town called Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in 1890. By the early 20th century, Opinel had already become a household name—one that is synonymous with exceptionally practical knives for everyday and specialist kitchen use. Today the company is run by Joseph Opinel’s great grandsons, and all their products are still made in France. Featuring natural wooden handles, precision-shaped blades, and signature safety locking mechanisms, these knives are crafted for a lifetime of daily use.
