The best chef knife I own. It has a good weight and balance whiling being super sharp and comfy in the hand. I will be buying the whole line up sooner than later!
This chef's knife is a beautifully crafted excellent addition to my home kitchen. It looks beautiful and cuts flawlessly. It has quickly become my favorite knife. Well worth the price, excellent quality.
This chef knife is everything you could want as an aspiring home cook. The balance is just right to provide minimal effort in all your cutting tasks. The appearance tops all of the popular chef knife brands. It'll be a talking point and the workhorse in your kitchen for years to come.
After my previous chef's knife was accidentally ruined, I decided to try Opinel. I love how beautiful the knife is and I love the weight of it. I really needed something sharp and sturdy enough for my butternut squash obsession...and this knife slices them easily and safely. I am so so so happy with the quality of my new chef's knife.
One of the best knifes I have ever bought. I've carried opinel knives since I was about 12. Very high quality. It is a nice balance between the thin Japanese style and the thick heavy German steel knifes you usually see in professional kitchens. It came sharp as **** out of the box and is super sexy. 10/10 would buy again.
