 Last fall Opinel introduced two new lines of kitchen knives and they are now available in the U.S.A. The Opinel Intempora Kitchen Knives have a "POM" handle for a slip free grip. They are dishwasher safe for fast and easy cleanup. The blades are made from Sandvik 12C27 MOD Stainless Steel. All Opinel stainless steel blades are modified by adding at least 0.40% of carbon. The extra carbon gives them a good cutting edge. |
 The Opinel Classic Kitchen Knives have Varnished Beechwood handles and are dishwasher safe. The blades of the Classic line use the same Sandvik 12C27 MOD Stainless Steel as the Opinel Intempora Kitchen Knives. |

Hermione Opinel No. 8 Folding Knife
|
|
|
The handle of this Opinel Hermione No. 8 folding knife is made from scrap Oak from from the current building of a replica of the frigate Hermione, in the old maritime arsena at Rochefort, France. The Hermione was the ship that La Fayette obtained from the French government, after his successful mission to persuade the French to help the struggling American revolutionaries. In today's port town of Rochefort, where the French Royal Navy once built its ships, there is once again a shipbuilding project. The Hermione-La Fayette Association is crafting a replica of the ship which will re-enact the voyage of Lafayette in 1780 crossing the Atlantic to Boston. Building commenced on the sailing frigate Hermione at the Rochefort Arsenal in 1778, based on the drawings produced by the engineer Henri Chevillard. The 44 m light frigate, fast and easy to handle, carried 3000 m2 of sail and was armed with 32 cannons. It had a crew of 300. Hermione is linked to the adventures and courage of one man- Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. As a young man in love with freedom, 19 year old Lafayette set off to fight at the side of American rebels for the independence of the United States of America. On his return to France to seek official support for the rebel cause, he managed to convince Louis XVI to send reinforcements. On March 21st 1780, the Marquis de Lafayette boarded Hermione, reaching Boston after a crossing of 38 days. He advised General Washington on the imminent arrival of French reinforcements. On September 20th 1793, after fourteen year of service in the French Royal Navy, in particular in conflicts with the British, Hermione ran aground and was shipwrecked on the rocks off Le Croisic in France. The Hermione-La Fayette Association has been reconstructing the frigate since 1997. The boatyard is open to visitors at Rochefort France.
