WORKSHOP –

Looking for a way to limit the waste of expensive ebony, the Workshop knife was born! This handle allows Opinel to recover the wood that would have otherwise been scrapped. The result is a mix of walnut and ebony with two veneers bringing these two species together. A 30° cut is made at the heel, then the walnut and ebony are assembled, glued and pressed. Once worked and shaped, the handle is finally buffed just like all the other handles manufactured in this workshop. A gift box is included with this item.
