Opinel

Opinel was established In 1890, in a small Savoie village in Maurienne, France. The founder, Joseph Opinel, invented a pocket knife that now bears his name, expanding into dozens of knives. The company is now located in Chambery, a town in the centre of the French Alps and is still family owned with descendants of Joseph Opinel involved in manufacture and management. Opinel prides itself on quality, French-made knives and cutlery that feature distinctive designs which have held the test of time.
