Opinel Intempora Knife

This set covers the three essential tasks of a kitchen: an 8-inch Chef's Knife for chopping and dicing, a 6-inch Carving Knife for slicing meats, and a 4-inch Paring Knife for detailed peeling and trimming.

The bolsterless design means there is no thick metal transition between the handle and the blade. This maximizes the usable cutting edge and makes sharpening the entire length of the blade much easier.

While the POM polymer handles are heat-resistant, we strongly recommend hand-washing and drying your knives immediately after use. This preserves the sharpness of the Sandvik 12c27 steel and prevents the handle finish from dulling over time.

Full tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, prevents the handle from snapping off under pressure, and gives the knife a sturdy, reliable feel in your hand.

Sandvik 12c27 is a high-carbon stainless steel, meaning it offers the edge retention of carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. It is highly stain-resistant, though it should still be wiped dry after cleaning to maintain its finish.

The handles are made from POM polymer reinforced with fiberglass. This material is specifically chosen for its high resistance to heat and impact, ensuring the handles won't warp or crack even with daily, rigorous use.
