The Opinel No. 112 Paring Knife Sage Green is a graceful blend of utility, tradition, and thoughtful design. Whether you’re peeling produce, trimming herbs, or slicing fruits with precision, this knife is made to handle the task with elegance and ease. Light in the hand and sharp at the edge, it’s an everyday essential that brings a calm, natural aesthetic to the kitchen while maintaining the enduring performance Opinel is celebrated for.
At the core of the No. 112 is a 3.93-inch plain edge blade crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. This high-performance Swedish steel offers impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a fine, clean grain that allows for incredibly sharp edges. Whether you’re handling something soft like a ripe peach or something firm like a potato, this blade delivers clean, accurate cuts with minimal effort. The hidden tang adds structural integrity while maintaining a streamlined silhouette that feels balanced and nimble during use.
The slicer’s handle is carved from durable beech wood, chosen for its stability and natural beauty, and treated with a smooth varnish in a soft, calming sage green. The color evokes the serenity of a kitchen rooted in tradition yet open to creativity, and the varnish offers protection from stains and moisture without dulling the wood’s natural texture. Its ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand, offering security and control even through extended prep sessions.
Lightweight at just 0.88 ounces and measuring 7.88 inches in overall length, this paring knife is remarkably agile, allowing for quick, delicate work without hand fatigue. Its compact form makes it ideal for small kitchens, packed utensil drawers, or chefs on the go who value reliability without the bulk. It’s the kind of knife that quietly becomes a go-to—there when you need it, reliable every time.
