Opinel
Knives have been made in the Maurienne region of South East France
for over a century. Joseph Opinel created the first Opinel knife in
1890 based on functionality combined with aesthetic quality, the
family still make Opinel Knives to this day.
HISTORY
The
Opinel family were Blacksmiths from early on in the 19th
Century based in the Maurienne region of South East France. However,
it wasn't until Joseph Opinel went against the advice of his father
and created the first Opinel knife models in 1890 that the Opinel was
born.
The
Opinel tradition is based upon,
"Good
sense, the feeling of comfort when gripped, the convenience of being
able to put it in your pocket gradually determined the overall shape
of the Opinel knife" – Opinel - Une tradition centenaire
(Opinel – A hundred year-old tradition) by Pierre Dompnier
Although
simple
in appearance, Opinel knives are renowned for their quality. However,
it is the combination of simplicity of aesthetics, quality
and functionality that has lead the Opinel to such success.
The Opinel can be seen in New York's Museum of Modern Art and in
1985, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London selected it for "the
good design guide", bringing together the most beautiful top 100
products in the world.
The
Crowned Hand trademark of Opinel can be seen on every Opinel knife,
and today they are distributed all over the world.
