Opinel has been crafting knives and hand tools in their factory in the town of Chambery in the French Alps for over 130 years. In 1890, Joseph Opinel invented their iconic pocket knife, which has changed little since its invention and has been featured in international design exhibitions because of its brilliant simplicity. They have expanded their line over the years, but every new addition stays true to the simplicity, elegance and craftsmanship of that original knife.
