SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Opinel No. 113 Essential Serrated Paring Knife in Sage Green is a versatile and precise tool designed for everyday kitchen tasks. Crafted in France with attention to detail and quality, this knife combines practicality, durability, and aesthetic appeal in a compact, ergonomic design. It is perfect for home cooks and culinary enthusiasts who value precision and reliability in a small, easy-to-handle knife.
The blade measures 10 cm (approximately 3.94 inches) and is made from high-quality stainless steel optimized for corrosion resistance and mechanical performance. Its micro-serrated edge excels at slicing tomatoes, vegetables, and soft fruits, and it can handle hard-boiled eggs or similar kitchen tasks with ease. The serrations provide consistent cutting action without crushing delicate foods, while the blade’s hardness of 55–57 HRC ensures excellent edge retention and wear resistance. It can withstand regular contact with harder materials, like ceramic plates, without losing sharpness, making it a practical choice for daily kitchen use. Unlike carbon steel, the stainless steel blade requires minimal maintenance under ordinary conditions, retaining its performance and appearance over time.
The handle is made from PEFC-certified hornbeam sourced from sustainably managed forests in the Jura and Vercors regions of France. The hornbeam’s fine-grained, light-colored wood is ideal for applying the sage green finish, giving the knife a distinctive, elegant look while reflecting the Pay sage collection’s inspiration from nature and distant landscapes. The handle is varnished to protect against moisture and dirt, providing a secure and comfortable grip for precise cutting and maneuvering. Its ergonomic design makes even repetitive tasks easier on the hand, enhancing control and safety during use.
This compact paring knife balances function, aesthetics, and sustainability. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for peeling, trimming, and slicing tasks in the kitchen. Whether you’re preparing vegetables for a meal or carefully slicing delicate fruits, the Opinel No. 113 combines precision, durability, and elegance in a knife that’s built to last. Its thoughtful design, quality materials, and French craftsmanship make it a reliable companion for any kitchen. Slice with precision and style—the Opinel No. 113 Sage Green Serrated Paring Knife is durable, elegant, and available at SMKW!
