About us
When Joseph Opinel designed his first pocket knife in 1890, the French blacksmith created a tool that was as robust and functional as it was simple and beautiful. From his workshop at the foot of the French Alps, Opinel forged a cult classic. From Picasso to the peasant workman, generations of artists, mountaineers, sailors, explorers, and farmers have carried the instantly recognizable, imminently useful Opinel knife in their pockets. Chosen as one of the 100 most beautiful objects in the world in 1985 by the Victoria and Albert Museum in “The good design guide”, in 2006 it entered the “Phaidon Design Classics” reference book as one of the 999 most significant designs of all times. It is also cited in the catalogue of the New-York Museum of Modern Art…
Little has changed since 1890. Rooted in history and a commitment to craftsmanship, the Opinel family still makes their knives in the Savoie region of France. A firm respect for its mountain traditions has led Opinel to perpetuate its policy of protecting the environment, in terms of the selection of raw materials, manufacture of the product and its packaging. Everyone at the company is committed to improving waste management, saving natural resources, gaining knowledge of and improving emissions (water, air and noise), preventing accidental pollution (ground, air and water), complying with legal requirements and others.
Today, the company crafts a wide range of tools and kitchen knives, all designed to stand the test of time with Joseph Opinel’s focus on quality, simplicity, and iconic design. Since 1890, 350 million knives have been sold in more than 70 countries across the world.
