Use a whetstone or sharpening tool designed for knives. Maintain the correct angle for the blade during sharpening. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
Use food-safe mineral oil to treat the oak handle. This will help protect the wood and keep it from drying out.
Wipe the blade and handle with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the knife in water. Dry the knife thoroughly after cleaning.
Clean the rust off the blade carefully with a rust remover or fine steel wool, then dry and re-oil the blade. Ensure the knife is stored dry after each use.
No, the knife is not dishwasher safe. The heat and moisture from a dishwasher can damage the handle and blade.
It's Opinel's patented safety ring that locks the blade in both the open and closed positions, ensuring safe use and storage.
The blade is made from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel.
Apply a small amount of oil to the pivot point. Ensure the safety ring is fully engaged.
Sharpen the blade using a whetstone or sharpening tool. Follow the correct angle for the blade.
Apply mineral oil to the handle to rehydrate the wood.
Ensure the safety ring is fully engaged when the blade is open or closed, preventing any movement.
There is no complex setup required. The Opinel No.6 is ready to use out of the box.
